the menstrual cycle & hormones Flashcards
the locations for hormones and the uses?
FSH:
pituitary gland
eggs mature&stimulated oestrogen secretion
OESTROGEN:
follicle in ovary
inhibits FSH production
& stimulates LH secretion
repairs / thickens lining of uterus
LH:
pituitary gland
mature egg (ovum) released
& remnant of follicle becomes corpus luteum
PROGESTERONE:
ovary (corpus lutem)
inhibits LH & FSH production
maintains the lining of uterus
DISCLAIMER: to be able to tell the hormone form line based on menstrual cycles?
PROGESTERONE : starts slow and takes a while but eventually goes upwards finishes at top straight line
FSH: starts medium then goes lower before going quickly higher then rounds off and goes back down again finishes below PROGESTERONE
OESTROGEN: starts slow but immediately starts going higher before taking a while to round off and eventually goes back down finishing below FSH where it started from
LH: starts in straight line low down but quickly and steeply shoots upwards before rounding off quickly and shooting back down to previous straight line finish under OESTROGEN
