|
Cholesterol based sex hormones |
Estrogen, progesterone, androgens, and prostaglandins. |
|
|
|
Protein based hormones |
Follicle stimulating (FSH) Luteinizing (LH) Oxytocin, and gonadotropin releasing (GnRH) |
|
|
|
Gonadotropin releasing hormone |
(GnRH) *It's released by hypothalamus |
Controls release of FSH and LH by feedback loops |
|
|
Follicle stimulating hormone |
(FSH) Induces maturity of ovarian follicles Induces sperm cells in men |
|
|
|
Luteinizing hormone |
Released by the pituitary gland Induces maturation of ovarian follicle to ovulation and estrogen release in women |
|
|
|
Oxytocin |
Released by pituitary gland Induces smooth muscle contraction in labor Induces milk let down in lactation Stress relief and bonder. |

|
Fun fact |

|
|
|

Lasts 2-7 days, 5 day average |
|
|
|
Ovulation |
Occurs about 14 days BEFORE menses. |
|
|
|
The entire Reproductive Cycle |
Hormonal Ovarian And Endometrial |
|
|
|
Fun fact |
The follicular phase Day 1-13 occurs in the Ovarian cycle |
|
|
|
Fun fact |
1.GnRH stimulates FSH AND LH 2. FSH and LH secrete estrogen and follicle development for ovulation 3. Other follicular development is halted because ovulation (14) releases progesterone, which halts GnRH 4. (No pregnancy?) Progesterone drops, queueing GnRH to stimulate the section of FSH AND LH ( a new cycle!) |
In pregnancy the corpus luteum (15-28) keeps secreting progesterone, maintaining the endometrium. |
