menstrual cycle steps

Back (Answer)

• FSH stimulates follicle maturation and ovarian production of estrogen • higher levels of estrogen cause uterus lining to thicken and for pitutary gland to stop FSH production and intiate LH production • LH stimulates release of mature egg on day `4. The follicle remains develop into a ‘corpus leteium’ which secretes progesterone • progestrone maintatins lining of uterus and inhibits FSh and LH production • when progesteron levels fall, th elining breaks down, which allows FSH production to restart
