Q

Describe follicular phase

A

FSH stimulates GROWTH of OVARIAN FOLLICLE (granolas cells) which in turn secretes estradiol.
ESTRADIOL induces ENDOMETRIAL PROLIFERATION and further increases FSH and LH secretion from positive feedback of pituitary

Q

Describe luteal phase

A

Residual follicle (i.e., CORPUS LUTEUM) secretes estradiol and progesterone to MAINTAIN ENDOMETRIUM and induce devo of secretory ducts.
High estradiol levels inhibit FSH and LH.
IF egg is NOT fertilized, corpus lute degrades, progesterone and estradiol levels decrease, and the ENDOMETRIAL LINING DEGRADES.

Decreased testosterone

decreased LH

A

Hyponadotrophic hypogonadism

69
Q

A male has ambiguous genitalia until puberty. What happened?

A

5a reductase deficiency caused the inability to convert testosterone to DHT. However, in puberty, increased testosterone causes masculinization and the increased growth of external genitalia.
Lh is normal or increased.
Testosterone is normal.

A

Increased testosterone, estrogen, and LH.

A defect in androgen receptor.
