The document discusses menstruation and the menstrual cycle. It covers three learning objectives: 1) describing menstruation as the breakdown of the uterine lining, 2) relating menstruation to the menstrual cycle, and 3) stating the hormones involved in the menstrual cycle, including FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone. The menstrual cycle is explained through diagrams and text, covering the development of follicles, ovulation, potential fertilization, and shedding of the uterine lining if no implantation occurs. Hormone levels and their effects in the ovaries and uterus are also detailed at different points in the cycle.

44. MENSTRUAL CYCLE
Fertilization
ovum meets sperm in oviduct
The Menstrual Cycle
- no menstruation occurs
(uterine lining will not break down) Day 0-5
Menstruation occurs
Yes - uterine lining break down
No - the unfertilized ovum is
discharged through the vagina
Fertilization ?
Day 14-28 (or Day 0)
Day 5-14
Uterine lining becomes very thick
Before ovulation:
- ready to receive fertilized ovum
uterine lining starts to thicken
( blood supply--> food & O2)
prepare for fertilized ovum
Day 14
Ovulation occurs
- not occur during pregnancy

Stimulate growth of follicle in the ovary Progesterone
Promotes repair and growth of the endometrium
LH
lining
High levels inhibit FSH secretion and induce the

endometrium to thicken and vascularise
Causes ovulation to occur Oestrogen
