Female Genital System
۰۶:۴۴ By Dr:Abdulwdood(Afghanmal)
2. Ovulation
In every 28 days
Primordial follicle --- Graafian follicle
(primordial follical, primary follical, secondary follical, mature follical)
Starting from 11 – 16 years of life
Ending at 45 – 50 years (menopause)

3. • Two cycles take place simultaneously in
the female genital system:
1: Ovarian cycle:
2: Menstruation or uterine cycle
1: Ovarian cycle
A:Pre-ovulatory Phase
Secretion of FSH from hipophysis
Development and growth of ovarian follicles
Proliferation of the endometrium
Secretion of estrogen hormone

4. B: Ovulation Phase
Takes place on the 14th (+/-1) day of ovulation cycle
Doesn’t take place during pregnancy
Rare in lactating women
Mechanism:
Under the influence of Luteatropin hormone
Increased fluid pressure in the follicle
Influence of collagenase and plasmin enzymes

Temporary endocrine gland
Secrets progesterone
Control by LH

9. 2: Menstruation or Uterine Cycle
Premenstrauation or Secretory Phase
12 days
Endometrial thickness reaches to the maximum
Secretion of uterine glands
Glycogen
Mucin
Uterine is ready for the implantation of fertilized ovum
Also called luteal phase
If the ovum has not fertilized 12-14 day and no progesterone
If the ovum has fertilized 3-4 month( plasenta formation)

10. A: Menstrual phase
3-5 days
50 – 60cc blood
No coagulation due to the presence of proteolytic enzymes
Thickness of endometrium remains 1/10 of the normal

11. Post menstruation or Proliferation Phase
10 days
Endometrium repairs under the influence of estrogen
hormone
Also called follicular phase
