What’s In
In the past lesson, you have learned about the role of hormones in the male and female
reproductive systems. As a review, hormones regulate the production and release of the sex
cells. They help regulate body processes such as growth, development, metabolism, and
response to stimuli. Acting as chemical messengers, they can transport a signal from one cell
to another. They can circulate throughout the body and can affect other parts even if they are
situated distance away from the cells that secrete them.
What’s New
What I s It
We have previously discussed that an ovary normally releases only one egg every 28
days. What controls the timing are the hormones. Hormones control many of the changes in
the reproductive system. They also coordinate the development of the ovum and the uterus.
Remember that hormones are chemicals that can affect certain body organs. This cycle
among females occurs every month starting when a female is 10 to 13 years old and it
continues for about 40 years. If an ovum is not fertilized in the fallopian tube, the corpus luteum
degenerates, the progesterone production stops, and the inside membrane of the uterus
breaks down. The breakdown and discharge of the soft uterine tissues and the fertilized egg
is called menstruation. This is the monthly changes or periods that take place in the female
reproductive system.

Figure 1.3 The ovarian and uterine cycle
Source: www.google.com Labeled for Reuse
After the menstrual period, the endometrium starts to build up due to the increasing
amount of estrogen by the developing follicles in the ovary. This is the proliferative phase of
the uterine cycle which lasts for 6 to 14 days. The formation of the corpus luteum and the
secretion of progesterone trigger the endometrium to double in thickness and prepare itself for
a developing embryo. The uterine glands also become mature and they produce a thick
secretion. Hence, the secretory phase of the uterine cycle begins on the 15th day until before
the onset of the next menstrual phase. However, this cycle may be interrupted by stress, health
concerns and pregnancy. But if pregnancy does not occur, the cycle begins anew.

What’s In
In the past lesson, you have learned about the menstrual cycle which is the growth and
release of a mature egg. It consists of four stages: the follicular phase, luteal phase,
proliferative phase, and the secretory phase.
11
What’s New
Source: Figure 2.1 Changes in the www.google.com Labeled uterine for Rliningeuse
Before moving on, let us first try an activity. In this activity, you are expected to compare
the changes that occur during the menstrual cycle. Try to figure out what occurs in its every
stage.
Direction: Complete the table below by comparing the changes that occur during the
menstrual cycle.
What Is It
12
The human ovaries can usually produce only one egg during a 28-day cycle of activity.
The mass of ovarian cells
produces an ovum or an egg
and it also forms a follicle. The
cycle is controlled by FSH or
the Follicle-Stimulating
Hormone. This hormone is
produced in the anterior lobe of
the pituitary gland. The follicle
becomes filled with a fluid
containing the hormone
estrogen when the egg reaches
maturity. Most importantly, the
rising level of FSH stimulates
follicle
maturation and estrogen production.
Figure 2.2 A cross section of the ovary
Figure 2.2 shows the cross section of a human ovary with different stages of
development. As the cycle continues and after the ovum has been discharged, the follicle
turns yellow and it forms the corpus luteum. The yellow body formation is controlled by
another hormone of the pituitary gland called the LH or luteinizing hormone. The corpus
luteum then produces another hormone known as progesterone. Progesterone brings about
effects in the secondary characteristics primarily on the breasts. During pregnancy,
progesterone causes breast enlargement. Moreover, this hormone maintains the growth of
the mucus lining of the uterus.
14
A feedback mechanism is the process through which the level of a certain
substance influences the level of another substance. A negative feedback affects the
production of hormones in the menstrual cycle. Moreover, high levels of one hormone
may inhibit the production of another hormone. Figure 2.3 presents the negative
feedback mechanisms in the menstrual cycle. Based on the figure, follicle stimulating
hormone or FSH stimulates the ovaries to release estrogen. High levels of estrogen
then prevent more production of FSH. Estrogen then stimulates the release of
luteinizing hormone or LH from the pituitary gland, which in turn, controls the production
of progesterone. Moreover, high levels of progesterone can then inhibit the further
release of LH.

What’s In
In the past lesson, you have learned about the menstrual cycle. To review, the
menstrual cycle involves the growth and release of a mature egg. Also, it consists of four
stages: the follicular phase, luteal phase, proliferative phase, and the secretory phase.
What’s New
Now that you have already known about the parts and functions of the human
reproductive system, let us now trace what happens to the ovulated egg to its orderly sequence
of events from the time an egg is ovulated. In this activity, you should be able to arrange the
sequence from the beginning to the end of fertilization and implantation in the uterus.
Direction: Complete the table below by sequencing the events from the time an egg is ovulated.
Arrange orderly by numbering the items from 1 to 7. Write your answer inside the table.
Event Sequence
Well done! You were able to perform the activity! You many proceed to the next. Have fun!
21
What Is It
A zygote or a fertilized egg is formed when a sperm successfully penetrates the nuclei
fuse. A fertilization membrane develops to prevent other sperms to further penetrate the egg.
This process wherein the sperms’ nucleus and the
ovum’s unite is called fertilization. It usually takes
place while the egg is traveling along the oviduct or
fallopian tube. It will take about 7 to 10 days for an
egg, fertilized or not, to reach the uterus.
As your guide, refer below for the summary of the stages of reproduction:
22
Sperm cells swim from the vagina into the uterus and into the oviducts. If
an egg is present, fertilization takes place. Once fertilized, the egg moves
down the oviduct into the uterus.
5. The fertilized egg then attaches itself into the wall of the uterus which is
called implantation. Once attached, it will remain there for nine months as
it develops into a baby.
What is ectopic
pregnancy? Ectopic pregnancy
results if implantation occurs
anywhere other than the uterine
cavity. The most common site of
ectopic pregnancy is in the
fallopian tube. Implantation in the
fallopian tube can be fatal and can
cause the tube to rupture. In
some cases, implantation can
occur in the mesenteries of the
abdominal cavity and the fetus
can develop normally, but must be
delivered by caesarian section.
As a summary, outlined below are the different processes involved during pregnancy.
Ovulation
This refers to the release of a mature egg from the ovary. It usually takes place on
th
the 14 day from the first day of menstruation if the cycle is a 28-day cycle.
Fertilization
When a sperm encounters an egg cell in the fallopian tube, it releases digestive
enzymes. Those enzymes clear the path for the sperm nucleus to fuse with the nucleus
of the ovum or egg cell. A zygote is now formed.
Implantation
23
This occurs before the end of the first week. By this process, the zygote attaches
to the uterine lining, and some of its cells send out projections that has been part of the
maternal tissue. The inner cell mass becomes the embryonic disc. This disc will give rise
to the embryo proper during the week following implantation.
Birth or Parturition
“Happy birthday!” is a very common greeting to mark the anniversary of a person’s
birth.
Birth takes place about 39 weeks after fertilization. The birth process begins when the
uterus starts to contract. For the next two to eighteen hours, the contraction becomes stronger
and more frequent. The cervical canal dilates fully and the amniotic sac ruptures.
Birth typically occurs less than an hour after full dilation. Immediately afterward, uterine
contraction forces fluid, blood and the placenta out of the body. The umbilical cord is now cut,
and the newborn embarks on its nurtured existence in the outside world.
