Pituitary gland

2
New cards

Main functions of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in the menstrual cycle

Causes an egg to mature in an ovary follicle and stimulates the ovaries to produce oestrogen.

3
New cards

Main functions of Oestrogen in the menstrual cycle

Causes the lining of the uterus to thicken, inhibits the release of FSH, and stimulates the release of LH.

4
New cards

Main function of Luteinising Hormone (LH) in the menstrual cycle

Stimulates ovulation, which is the release of a mature egg from an ovary around day 1414.

5
New cards

Main functions of Progesterone in the menstrual cycle

Maintains the thick uterus lining during the second half of the cycle and inhibits the release of both FSH and LH.

6
New cards

Hormones produced directly by the ovaries during the menstrual cycle

Oestrogen and Progesterone

7
New cards

Hormonal feedback interaction triggering ovulation

High levels of oestrogen inhibit FSH release and stimulate a surge in LH release from the pituitary gland.
