QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS | EXPERT VERIFIED
follicular phase - ANSWER ✔✔The first phase of the ovarian cycle,
during which a follicle 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.
FSH - ANSWER ✔✔- Promotes growth and maturation of follicles
- Causes follicles secrete more estrogen
- Peaks on day 14 of cycle
, LH - ANSWER ✔✔- Surge results in release of an egg from a follicle
= ovulation
- peaks on day 14 of cycle
ovulation phase - ANSWER ✔✔The second stage of the general
menstrual cycle, when the ovum is released.
luteal phase - ANSWER ✔✔The third phase of the ovarian cycle,
during which a corpus luteum is formed and 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 which leads to menstrual flow
where is GnRH secreted - ANSWER ✔✔released by hypothalamus,
the control center of the brain
GnRh role - ANSWER ✔✔stimulates pituitary gland to release FSH
and LH
LH in makes - ANSWER ✔✔triggers production of testerone
FSH in males - ANSWER ✔✔stimulates maturation of sperm and
helps nourish and protect developing sperm
