    The document discusses the regulation of estrogen and progesterone in the menstrual cycle. It explains how hormones like estrogen, progesterone, FSH and LH influence each phase of the menstrual cycle and cause changes in the body. The levels of these hormones change during the different phases like the follicle and luteal phases.

    REGULATION OF
    ESTROGEN AND
    PROGESTERONE IN
    THE MENSTURAL
    CYCLE
    SUBMITTED TO: MS. RAMIREZ
    MENSTRUAL CYCLE
    The menstrual cycle is a term to
    describe the sequence of events
    that occur in your body as it
    prepares for the possibility of
    pregnancy each month.Every
    person’s cycle is slightly different,
    but the process is the same.
    HOW LONG IS A NORMAL
    MENSTRUAL CYCLE?
    The average length of a
    menstrual cycle is 28 days.
    However, a cycle can range in
    length from 21 days to about 35
    days and still be normal.
    REGULATION OF ESTROGEN
    AND PROGESTERONE IN
    MENTRUAL CYCLE
    At the start of the menstrual cycle,
    the follicles start to produce estrogen.
    The estrogen stimulates the
    hypothalamus to produce GnRH
    (gonadotrophin- releasing hormone)
    to enable the anterior pituitary to
    release FSH (follicie stimulating
    hormone) and LH (luteinizing
    hormone).
    The FSH stimulates the growth of the
    follicle. When the follicle matures,
    more estrogen (specifically estradiol)
    is release. The anterior pituitary
    detects the high level of estrogen
    thus, inhibits the FSH and starts
    making more LH. The shift of LH causes
    the ovary to release an egg cell. When
    the egg cell is released after ovulation,
    the follicle turns into corpus luteum,
    thus the start of the luteal phase.
    The corpus luteum releases progesterone
    during the luteal phase. The progesterone
    makes the endometrium in uterus to
    thicken and prepares it for upcoming
    pregnancy. If fertilization occurs,
    progesterone from the corpus luteum
    supports the early pregnancy, which
    usually occurs between 7 and 9 weeks of
    pregnancy. If no fertilization occurs, the
    corpus luteum will start to break down. This
    results in a decrease in estrogen and
    progesterone levels, which causes the
    uterine wall to shed, an event known as
    menstruation.
    ROLE OF HORMONES IN
    MENSTRUAL CYCLE
    The chemical messengers in our
    body called hormones, released by
    various endocrine glands are
    responsible for many changes in a
    human body. Menstruation is a slave
    to certain hormones. Every phase of
    the menstrual cycle is influenced by
    a female hormones.
    ROLE OF HORMONES IN
    MENSTRUAL CYCLE
    Every phase of the menstrual
    cycle is influenced by a female
    hormones namely estrogen,
    progesterone, FSH and LH. The
    variation in the level of each of
    these hormones decides the
    phase which a girl undergoes.
    THE LEVELS OF THE HORMONES IN
    EVERY PHASE OF MENSTRUAL CYCLE
    AND THE EFFECTS OF THE HORMONES
    IN THE FOLLICLE AND THE
    ENDOMETRIUM
