Ovarian Follicle functions?

A

  • FSH –> stim. Granulosa cells –> convert Androgen to Estradiol (drives Proliferative phase of the Endometrial cycle)
  • Estradiol surge –> LH surge –> Ovulation (beginning of Secretory phase of the Endometrial cycle)
  • Residual Follicle –> Corpus Luteum –> Progesterone (drives Secratory phase –> prepares Endometrium for fertalized egg implantation)
