The hypothalamus controls the release of hormones from the __ by secreting __ (__).

The adrenal cortex produces various steroids, including androgens

The __ produces various steroids, including androgens

The adrenal medulla primarily produces catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) rather than androgens.

The __ primarily produces catecholamines (__and __) rather than androgens.

During the follicular phase, estrogen is produced by the developing follicles

During the __ phase, estrogen is produced by the developing __

Low levels of estrogen provide negative feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary to regulate the secretion of GnRH, LH, and FSH.

Low levels of estrogen provide negative feedback to the __ and __ to regulate the secretion of GnRH, LH, and FSH.

High levels of estrogen before ovulation provide positive feedback, leading to the LH surge necessary for ovulation.

High levels of estrogen before __ provide positive feedback, leading to the LH surge necessary for __.

Low levels of estrogen provide negative feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary to regulate the secretion of GnRH, LH, and FSH.

High levels of estrogen before ovulation provide positive feedback, leading to the LH surge necessary for ovulation.

High levels of __ before ovulation provide positive feedback, leading to the __ surge necessary for ovulation.

After ovulation, the corpus luteum produces progesterone, which stabilizes the endometrial lining and provides negative feedback to inhibit the secretion of GnRH, LH, and FSH, preventing further ovulation.

After ovulation, the corpus luteum produces __, which stabilizes the endometrial lining and provides negative feedback to inhibit the secretion of GnRH, LH, and FSH, preventing further ovulation.

After ovulation, the corpus luteum produces progesterone, which stabilizes the endometrial lining and provides negative feedback to inhibit the secretion of GnRH, LH, and FSH, preventing further ovulation.
