Q

why is FSH low in luteal phase?

A

because estrogen, progesterone and inhibin all can inhibit its release

Q

how do granulosa cells make estrogen?

A

well they cannot on their own…theca cells take up cholesterol and make androgens that are transported to granulosa to turn into estrogen

Q

what hormone is in charge of stabilizing the endometrium?

20
Q

a dominant follicle i the end of the follicular phase produces lots of estrogen, what does this cause with other follicles/

Study These Flashcards
A

they become atretic and back to good old eggs

21
Q

in late follicular phase, what receptors do granulosa cells express?

Study These Flashcards
A

both LH and FSH receptors

22
Q

in the late follicular phase, what does LH receptor allow granulosa cell to do?

Study These Flashcards
A

convert cholesterol into progesterone

23
Q

what hormone do granulosa cells start to release at end of follicular phase?

24
Q

at end of follicular phase, what hormone causes the surge in LH?

Study These Flashcards
A

estrogen peaks and causes a peak in LH…this is positive feedback to level of hypothalamus

25
the peak in LH causes what in menstruation cycle?
ovulation
26
what cells form the corpus luteum?
granulosa and theca cells of the follicle
27
what is mittelschmerz?
medical pain for ovulation pain
28
do theca cells respond to LH or FSH?
LH
29
do granulosa cells respond to LH or FSH?
FSH
30
what three things does corpus luteum produce in luteal phase?
progest estrogen inhibin
31
what does progest estrogen and inhibin cause with FSH and LH secretion in mid luteal phase?
it inhibits their release
32
what is corpus luteum dependent on to maintain integrity during luteal phase?
needs LH
33
what rescues the corpus luteum in pregnancy?
hCG
34
as corpus luteum fails, progest and estrogen decline, this leads to an increase in what hormone?
FSH
35
the decline in progest and estrogen at end luteal phase leads to what with endometrium?
shedding
36
what hormone is hCG very similar to?
LH
37
what does high estrogen cause in cervical mucus at end of prolifeative phase?
high estrogen leads to production of watery/elastic cervical mucus
38
what does high progesterone cause in cervical mucus at secretory phase?
makes cervical mucus scant and thick
39
what does progesterone do to body temperature?
it will increase the temperature when it peaks
40
what cells do LH target in males?
leydig
41
what cells do FSH target in males?
sertoli cells
42
what is another name for the sertoli cells?
nurse cells
43
what cell in males make testosterone?
leydig cells
44
where does leydig cells transfer the testosterone to?
to the sertoli cells
45
what is on sertoli cells that helps uptake of testosterone?
androgen binding protein
46
what can sertoli cells not do?
they cannot produce testosterone
47
what does FSH cause in sertoli cells?
increase androgen binding protein production
