VERIFIED ACCURATE ANSWERS
During days 1-14 the endometrium thickens under the influence of ____ in the _______
phase.
In the ovaries, a dominant follicle matures, leading to ovulation. - Answers - estrogen;
follicular
The _____ phase is after ovulation - Answers - luteal
After ovulation the ruptured follicle becomes the _____ ________; secreting _________
(&some estrogen). - Answers - corpus luteum; progesterone
____ enhances the lining of the uterus to prepare it for _______ - Answers -
progesterone; implantation
If there no implantation - the corpus luteum degenerates leading to a deep slope in -
Answers - estrogen and progesterone
When there is no implantation and the corpus luteum degenerates and both estrogen
and progesterone steep low it leads to - Answers - menstruation
The first phase of the ovarian cycle, during which a follicle (an oocyte and its
surroudning cells) enlarges and matures. This phase is under the control of FSH from
the anterior pituitary, and typically lasts from day 1 to day 14 of the menstrual cycle. The
follicle secretes estrogen during this time period - Answers - follicular phase
The third phase of the ovarian cycle, during which a corpus luteum is formed from the
remnants of the follicle that has ovulated its oocyte. The corpus luteum secretes
progestrone and estrogen during this time period, which typically lasts from day 15 to
day 28 of the menstrual cycle. Formation of the corpul luteum is triggered by the same
LH surge that triggers ovulation, however in the absence of LH (levels quickly decline
after the surge) the corpus luteum begins to degenerate. - Answers - luteal phase
Which hormone predominates in the follicular (proliferative) phase [days 1-12]
*pulsatile GnRH from the hypothalamus --> increase in FSH and LH from the pituitary
gland to stimulate ovaries. - Answers - estrogen
During the Follicular (proliferative) phase there is an increase in ____ causing *follicle
and egg maturation in the ovary* - Answers - FSH
