WHAT HORMONES REGULATE OVARIAN AND UTERINE CYCLES
GONATROPHIN RELEASING HORMONE GONADATROPHINS - FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE AND LUTENISING HORMONE OESTROGEN PROGESTERONE
WHAT PROMPTS THE RELASE OF FSH AND LH FROM THE ANT PITUITARY
GONADATROPHIN RELEASING HORMONE
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE
STIMULATES OVARIAN FOLLICLE MATURATION OVARIAN PRODUCTION OF OESTROGEN
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF LUTENISING HORMONE
TRIGGERS OVULATION AND FORMATION OF CORPUS LUTEUM OVARIAN PRODUCTION OF PROGESTERONE AND OESTROGEN
ARE THE FEMALE SEX HORMONES AMINO ACID OR STEROID HORMONES
STERIOD
DESCRIBE THE HYPOTHALAMIC-PITUATARY-GONADAL ACCESS
THE HYPOTHALAMUS RELEASED GONADATROPHIN RELEASING HORMONE WHICH TELLS THE ANTERIOR PITUATARY GLAND TO RELEASE FSH AND LH BOTH TRAVEL TO THE OVARIES AND INTERACT WITH THE GRANULOSA AND THECAL CELLS TO PRODUCE PROGESTERONE AND OESTROGEN
WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF OESTROGENS
PROMOTE OOGENSIS MAINTAIN THE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT CV PROTECTIVE ROLE AS A BLOOD VESSEL DIALATOR MAINTAIN BONE DENSITY
WHAT PRODUCES PROGESTERONE
THE CORPUS LUTEUM
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF PROGESTERONE
PREPARES THE ENDOMETRIUM FOR IMPLANTATION FORMS THE CERVICAL MUCOUS PLUG IN PREGNANCY
WHAT CELLS FORM ANDROGENS
THECAL CELLS
WHAT CELL CONVERTS ANDROGENS TO OESTROGENS
GRANULOSA CELLS
WHAT ENZYME IS REQUIRED FOR THE CONVERSION OF ANDROGENS TO OESTROGEN
AROMATASE
DO BOTH THECAL AND GRANULOSA CELLS PRODUCE PROGESTERONE
YES
FSH BINDS TO WHICH CELL
GRANULOSA CELL
LH BINDS TO WHICH CELLS
THECAL AND GRANULOSA
DESCRIBE THE SYNTHESIS OF OESTROGEN REGARDING THE GRANULOSA AND THECAL CELLS
WITHIN BOTH CELLS CHOLESTEROL IS CONVERTED INTO PROGESTERONE. THE GRANULOSA CELLS CANNOT CONVERT PROGESTERONE INTO ANDROGENS SO THEY SEND THEIR PROGESTERONE TO THE THECAL CELLS WHERE ANDROGENS ARE CREATED. THE THECAL CELLS THEN SEND THE ANDROGENS TO THE GRANULOSA CELLS WHERE AROMATASE HELPS TO CONVERT ANDROGENS TO OESTROGENS
