FSH and LH are produced where? * - Ans:✔✔-pituitary gland
Estrogen does what? - Ans:✔✔-Develops female secondary sex characteristics (breast development) and
monthly cyclic changes in uterus
Matures reproductive organs
phases of menstrual cycle - Ans:✔✔-follicular phase, ovulation, luteal phase, menstruation
onset of menses is day - Ans:✔✔-1
average time of cycle - Ans:✔✔-28 days
should occur ever 21-35
avg length of menstral cycle - Ans:✔✔-2-8 days
avg blood loss - Ans:✔✔-20-80mL
Follicular phase - Ans:✔✔--beginning of cycle
-hormones are least hormonally active
-FSH increases which stimulates estrogen secretion

Phase 1 ends with - Ans:✔✔-release of oocyte
secretory or luteal phase - Ans:✔✔-supports endometrium and becomes more thick and more vascular
-estrogen, lh, and fsh decrease is not fertilized
