30
Q

Beginning when the oocyte is stimulate FSH and LH by GnRH

A

ovarian cycle

31
Q

Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) stimulates the release of FSH and LH.
•The immature follicle matures due to Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
•The oocyte within the follicle is growing
•Luteinizing hormone (LH) allows for final maturation and release of ovum.
•High levels of Estrogen is secreted until ovulation
•Progesterone then surges
Day 14 = a mature graafian follicle appears near the surface of the ovary
•The ovum is now released near the fimbra of the fallopian tube and will travel to the uterus
•Only fertile for 6 to 24 hours
•It reaches the uterus in 72 to 96 hours after being released from the ovary

A

Follicular phase (phase 1)

32
Q

Luteal phase(days 15 to 28)
•Begins when the ovum leaves its follicle
•A corpus luteum develops from the ruptured follicle
•If the ovum is fertilized it the corpus luteum will secrete large amounts of progesterone and a small amount of estrogen
•If the ovum isn’t fertilized the corpus luteum will degenerate
•Menstruation will occur 14 days after ovulation if the ovum wasn’t fertilized

A

Ovarian cycle (phase 2)

33
Q

Prevents ovulation by inhibiting release of gonadotropins, inhibits ovulation, increase uterine mucous viscosity
•Acne, Endometriosis, Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding, Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Makes body think you have HCg, which gnRH won’t produce

A

Adverse effects of contraceptives

36
Q

•Occurs when a sperm penetrates an ovum and unites with it
•After ovum released it has 6-24 hours to be fertilized

•200-600 million sperm released in 2-5 ml of semen
Usually occurs in ampulla of fallopian tubes, close to ovary
•High estrogen at ovulation
•thins cervical mucus
•increases motility of ovum

A

Fertilization and conception
