Reproductive Hormones

Analyse the role of hormones in the reproductive system

Describe the process of gametogenesis

Examine the four stages of the oestrous cyle

FSH stimulates one or more follicles to mature

LH stimulates mature follicle to produce oestrogen and inhibit LH and FSH production

Oestrogen (+inhibin) from mature follicle inhibits secretion of FSH so no more follicles mature

However, an increase of oestrogen levels stimulates LH (peak) and FSH production which leads to ovulation
