Function GnRH?
Where released?
Posterior pituitary
Induce secretion FSH and LH from anterior pituitary
Function FSH? (3)
Stimulate development follicles
Increase oestrogen secretion
Increase inhibin secretion from granulosa cells
What synthesises LH and FSH?
Anterior pituitary gonadotrophs
Function LH?
Stimulate theca cells produce androgens- converted oestrogen by granulosa- thicken endometrium
Stimulate ovulation
Conversion Graafian follicle into coprus luteum- produces progesterone
