Endocrine
Paracrine
Immunological medication of fetal and maternal tissues
Menstruation is regulated by
Hypothalamus
Pituitary axis
Ovaries
Genital tract
Average cycle
28days
Range- 25-32 days
Follicular phase
Days 1-14
Increase estrogen
Endometrial thickening
Dominant ovulatory follicle
Lutheal phase
Days 14-21
Corpus luteum produce estrogen and progesterone
Prepare the endometrium for implantation
Implantation
Blastocyst begin to produce HCG
Rescue corpus luteum in maintaining progesterone production
Follicular or preovulatory ovarian phase

How many follicles at puberty onset?
400,000
Follicular or preovulatory ovarian phase
How many follicles depleted every month
1,000 until age 35 then rate accelerates
Follicular or preovulatory ovarian phase
How many follicles are release during reproductive life?
400 follicles
Follicular or preovulatory ovarian phase
99.9 % undergo atresia through
Apoptosis
Recruitment of primordial follicles
Gonadotropin independent
Two members of the transforming growth factor beta family
Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9)
Bone morphogenic protein 15 (BMP-15)
Required for further development of large antral follicles
FSH
Begins a phase of semi synchronous growth based on their maturation state urging the FSH rise in the late luteal phase
Group of antral follicle (cohort)
FSH rise leading to follicle development called
Selection window of the ovarian cycle
Selection window - capacity to produce estrogen
Estrogen level rise in parallel to
Growth of dominant follicle
