Q

Oestrogen

A

Stimulates the lining of the uterus to build up
Reduces the levels of FSH produced by the pituitary
Pin creases the levels of LH

17
Q

Growth of follicle

18
Q

Ovulation

19
Q

Corpus luteum grows and breaks down

20
Q

Menstruation

21
Q

Growth of lining

22
Q

Menstruated cycle starts

A

Following puberty

23
Q

Menstrual cycle occurs

A

Once a month

Because of hormones

24
Me struck cycle stops
``` When pregnant (starts again after birth of baby) After menopause ```
25
Fertilisation
Sperm fertilises an ovum | A zygote is formed in the Fallopian tube
26
Uterus
The developing uterus moves into here to develop | Implants itself into the uterus lining
27
Placenta
``` Develops as the embryo does Gives food+oxygen to the foetus Takes urea+carbon dioxide Secretes progesterone Connected to foetus by umbilical chord ```
28
Uterus contains
Amniotic fluid Membranes Sustains and protects the baby
29
Pregnancy duration
40 weeks
30
Week 12 of pregnancy
Some organs start to function | Bones start to harden
31
Week 20 of pregnancy
Muscles are more developed | Foetus is more active
32
Week 24 of pregnancy
Air sacs form in the lungs | Eyes are developed
33
Week 36 of pregnancy
Nervous system developing rapidly | Lungs are nearly mature
