controls spermatogenesis
FSH
Interstitial cells of Leydig
make testosterone
anchors ovaries medially to uterus
ovarian ligament
anchors ovaries laterally to pelvic wall
suspensory ligament
strong ligament supporting uterine tubes, uterus and vagina
broad ligament
secretes estrogen in 1st half of cycle
corpus luteum
secreted by corpus luteum in 2nd half of cycle and increases during pregnancy
progesterone
stimulates ovulation
luteinizing hormone
maintains corpus luteum,
detected in home pregnancy tests
