    Hormonal Control of Human Reproduction: Female: Hormone Source Function

    Uploaded by

    The female reproductive cycle involves two hormone-driven cycles - the ovarian cycle and menstrual cycle - that typically occur over a 28 day period. The ovarian cycle involves the maturation and release of eggs, while the menstrual cycle regulates the preparation and shedding of the uterine lining. Key hormones involved include follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the pituitary gland, as well as estradiol and progesterone from the ovaries. These hormones act in different ways throughout the follicular, ovulation, and luteal phases to regulate egg development and the thickening and shedding of the uterine lining.

    The Ovarian and Menstrual Cycle
     Ovarian Cycle – governs the preparation of endocrine tissues and release of eggs
     Menstrual Cycle – governs the preparation and maintenance of the uterine lining
     These cycles occur concurrently and are coordinated over a 22-32 day cycle, with an average length of 28 days
