Q

Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian Axis - the cycle of menses - the order of it

A

Hypothalamus- releases GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) which stimulates the

Anterior pituitary first releases FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) which stimulates graafian primordial follicles to mature

Anterior pituitary then releases LH (luteinizing hormone) which releases the ovum from one follicle

Empty follicle then becomes corpus luteum

Q

Uterine Cycle - 3rd phase (the secretary ovulates and hormones increase)

A

Secretory Phase (3)
Begins with ovulation

Continued endometrial 	growth (estrogen)

Increase in progesterone = 	endometrial growth + gland 	growth

Increased vascularity If PREGNANCY occurs here, 	process stops

Q

uterine cycle - 4th stage

A

Ischemic Phase (4) (if no fertilization):
Corpus luteum degenerates and becomes corpus albicans

Decrease in estrogen, 	progesterone

Necrosis under epithelial 	lining, small blood vessels 	rupture, arteries constrict 

Return to menstrual phase
