Q

Estrogen is produced throughout the menstrual cycle it is initially produced by what?

A

Theca internal cells of the secondary follicles during the first part of the menstrual cycle, during this phase estrogen initiates the proliferation and thickness of the endometrium by encouraging the growth and expansion of spiral arteries and glands within the functional layer of the endometrium, oxygen has many other important functions, regeneration of the endometrium after Menses and induction of salt and water retention, simulates contractile emotions within the uterine myometrium and Fallopian tubes, during second half dimensional cycle following ovulation progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum of the ovary, progesterone is responsible for maintaining the thickness of the endometrium and inducing its secretory activity as it is prepared for implantation
