Using approximately 200 words, correlate events in the uterine cycle to the ovarian cycle.
Ovarian cycle decribes the development and release of the oocyte in the ovary and changes in the folicles
Uterine cycle decribes the preparation of the inner lining of the uterus for implantation by a fertilized egg
The two cycles occur concurrently and are tightly regulated by hormones released from the endocrine system
The changes in the ovary are regulated by hormones released from anterior pituitary
While changes observed in uterine cycle are regulated by ovary during ovarian cycle
Stepwise secretion and events
Gnrh -Starts follicular phase
FSH- Stimulates follicle development in ovaties
Estrogen-Prolifervative phase
Increased gnrh- Lh hormone secretion
Increase in lh- Ovulation
Promotes formation of corpus luteum.it is also called as luteal phase
Progesterone and estrogen-Secretory phase
Decreased gnrh
Decreased gnrh-decreased lh
Decreased lh-Degeneration of corpus luteum
Decreased progesterone and estrogen concentration-Menstruation
