§ pituitary gland releases FSH and LH to stimulate
ovaries to encourage follicular cells to grow and mature
§ follicles release estrogen and when estrogen peaks the
production of FSH is inhibited and more LH is produced
causing the most mature egg cell to release from the follicle
and through the ovary wall (this is ovulation and happens
10-16 days before the start of the period)
§ ovum will move to fallopian tube and must be
menstrual cycle overview
fertilized by a sperm cell within 24 hours, if not the
window for pregnancy is closed for the month § While
the ovum is in the fallopian tube the empty follicle is
releasing progesterone and causing the uterine lining to
thicken in preparation for a potentially fertilized egg
§ if the egg is not fertilized the bodies progesterone and
estrogen levels decrease, causing the uterine lining to
shed thus producing a period
,fertilization § sperm are released into vagina and find way through
cervical os which is soft and slightly open during the middle
of the cycle and go through uterus into the fallopian tube
where the mature ovum is § over the first week after
fertilization takes place the zygote will travel down the
fallopian tube and into the body of the uterus
§ implantation of the zygote will implant into the wall on day
7-8 after fertilization
