Follicle stimulating hormone (FHS); is secreted from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland just
after menstruation; It causes Graafian follicle to grow in the ovary; FSH also stimulates tissues
of the ovary to produce oestrogen;
Oestrogen; brings about healing and repair of endometrium; destroyed during menstruation; Accumulation of oestrogen;
stimulates pituitary gland produce Luteinising hormone (LH);
Luteinising hormone (LH); stimulates maturation of graafian follicle; The manure graafian
follicle releases an ovum into funnel shaped part of the ovary; This is known as ovulation;
LH also brings about changing of graafian follicle into corpus luteum; LH then stimulates
corpus luteum to secrete progesterone;
Progesterone; stimulates thickening of the endometrium and increases blood supply to the endometrium; in preparation
for implantation. When fertilisation has taken place, progesterone
levels increase and this inhibits secretion of FSH; hence no more growth of graafian follicle;
