A BLESSED

MORNING
EVERYONE!
DIFFERENT TYPES
OF HORMONES
INVOLVED IN
FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
 THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT HORMONES
THAT INVOLVES THE FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM:
1. FOLLICLE – STIMULATING
HORMONE
2. LUTEINIZING HORMONE
3. ESTROGEN
4. PROGESTERON
 FOLLICLE – STIMULATING
HORMONE
(FSH) Is one of the hormones essential to pubertal
developement and the function of woman’s ovaries and

01
men’s testes.

FUNCTION:
It helps control the menstrual cycle and the production of
eggs by the ovaries.
 LUTEINIZING HORMONE
(LH) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior
pituitary gland. The production of LH is regulated by gonadotropin-
releasing hormone from the hypothalamus.

02
FUNCTION:
  - aids in egg maturation and provides the hormonal trigger to
cause ovulation and the release of eggs from the ovary.
 ESTROGEN
A type of hormone made by the body that helps develop and
maintain female sex characteristics and the growth of long bones.
Estrogens can also be made in the laboratory. They may be used as a

03 type of birth control and to treat symptoms of menopause, menstrual

disorders and other conditions.

FUNCTION:
It regulates the growth, development,
and physiology of the
human reproductive system. 
 PROGESTERON
A type of hormone made by the body that plays a role in the
menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progesteron is in the class of
medications called progestins (female hormones). It works as part of

04 hormones replacement therapy by decreasing the amount of

estrogen in the uterus

FUNCTION:
is to prepare the endometrium
(lining of your uterus) for
a fertilized egg to implant and grow.
 THE ENDOCRINE
SYSTEM
The endocrine system is made up of organs called glands. Glands produce and
release different hormones that target specific things in the body.
Hormones are the body's chemical messengers

WHAT DOES ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DO?

It helps control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work,
metabolism , and reproduction.
 HYPOTHALAMUS
The area of the brain that controls body temperature, hunger, and
thirst.

FUNCTION:
- It is to keep your body in a stable
state called homeostasis.
PITUITARY GLAND
A pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain, the
pituitary is important in controlling growth and development
and the functioning of the other endocrine glands.

FUNCTION:
- It produces a number of
hormones.

- It regulates growth, metabolism,

and reproduction through the
hormones that it produces.
 PINEAL GLAND
It is a tiny gland in your brain that's located beneath the back part of
the corpus callosum.

FUNCTION:
- It is to receive information
about the state of the light-dark
cycle from the environment
and convey this information
by the production and secretion
of the hormone melatonin.
THYROID AND PARATHYROID
GLANDS
The thyroid gland uses iodine from food to make two thyroid
hormones that regulate the way the body uses energy. 

The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands located behind

the thyroid gland. 
 THYMUS GLAND
It is in the chest between the lungs. It makes white blood cells (T
lymphocytes) which are part of the immune system and help fight
infection.

FUNCTION:  
- It is to train special white blood cells
called T-lymphocytes or T-cells. 
PANCREAS
A glandular organ located in the abdomen. It makes
pancreatic juices, which contain enzymes that aid in digestion,
and it produces several hormones, including insulin.

FUNCTION:
pancreas helps your body break down food,
control your blood sugar,
tell your stomach when to empty,
and more.
 ADRENAL GLANDS
A small gland that makes steroid hormones, adrenaline, and
noradrenaline. These hormones help control heart rate, blood pressure,
and other important body functions.

Adrenal glands produce
hormones that help regulate your
metabolism, immune system, blood
pressure, response to stress and
other essential functions.
FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM PARTS
AND FUNCTIONS
 OVARY
Most females have two ovaries, one on each side of the
uterus. They are about the shape and size of an almond. Two
ovaries contain approximately 700,000 Trusted Source
 oocytes, which are immature eggs. When a person
reaches puberty, these eggs begin to develop and mature
inside the ovary follicles.

Two key functions:

- producing hormones and releasing eggs.
 OVARY
THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF HORMONES:

• Estrogen
• Progesteron

These hormones are responsible for sexual development

and preparing the uterine wall to nourish fertilized eggs
during pregnancy.
 Fallopian tubes
The fallopian tubes are passageways that carry eggs toward the uterus.

They consist of several parts:

- The infundibulum, which is a funnel-shaped opening near the ovaries.

- The fimbria, which are finger-like projections surrounding the

opening.

- Cilium, which are hair-like structures inside the fallopian tubes.

OVARY
The hormones the ovaries produce regulate the menstrual cycle They
also:

• Influence the development of female sex traits.

• Facilitate pregnancy, childbirth, and breast milk production

• Contribute to the health of the bones, heart, liver, brain, and other
tissues

• Influence mood, sleep, and sex drive.

Uterus
The uterus is an organ that is about the shape and size of a pear. It is
also known as the womb. It consists of muscular walls and a lining
(endometrium) that grows and diminishes with each menstrual
cycle.

FUNCTION:
It is where a fertilized egg implants during pregnancy and where your
baby develops until birth. It's also responsible for your menstrual
cycle.
Cervix and vagina
The cervix is a narrow structure at the bottom of the uterus.

It has several functions:

> Producing mucus: The cervix produces cervical mucus, which

stops sperm from entering the uterus when a person is not fertile
or when they are pregnant.

> Protecting against bacteria: The mucus also stops bacteria

from entering the uterus and keeps the vagina healthy.
Cervix and vagina
> Allowing fluids to drain: At the bottom of the cervix is a small
opening that allows fluids, such as menstrual blood, to
pass through.

Below the cervix is the vagina, which is a flexible, tubular

structure that connects the internal and external reproductive
organs. It sits behind the bladder and in front of the digestive
tract.

The vagina allows fluids, such as menstrual blood and discharge,

to leave the body. It also allows semen, which contains sperm, to
enter the body.

&
GODBLESS US ALL!
