ACTIVITY: The Wheels Keep on Turning
 The teacher will divide the class into 4 groups.
 The teacher will give each a blank menstrual cycle diagram. After the students
watched the short video clip, the teacher will ask the students to color the
blank menstrual cycle diagram according to what they’ve learned. The
students will be given 5 minutes to do the activity. After that, each group will
present in front of the class to discuss their work.

MAIN DISCUSSION:
MENSTRUAL HORMONES AND THEIR FUNCTION
Table 1 below summarizes the functions of the four important hormones in the
menstrual cycle.
 Endocrine
Hormone Function
Gland
Follicle  Stimulates follicular growth in ovaries
Stimulating  Stimulates estrogen secretion from
Hormone developing follicles (small sac containing
(FSH) eggs)
Anterior  Surge causes ovulation
Pituitary  Results in the formation of a corpus luteum
Luteinizing (a structure formed as a mature egg pops out
Hormone (LH) of a follicle)
 Triggers corpus luteum to secrete
progesterone
 Thickens endometrium
 Stimulates the pituitary gland to release LH
Estrogen causing ovulation
Ovaries  Stops FSH being produced so that only one
egg matures in a cycle
 Thickens endometrium
Progesterone
 Inhibits FSH and LH (luteal phase)
Table 1. Menstrual Hormones and Their Functions

THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE

The menstrual cycle is influenced by the endocrine system through the complex
interaction of the hypothalamus, pituitary and gonads (reproductive or sex organs,
specifically the ovaries and testes). The length of the
menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman but
the average cycle is 28 days.

Figure 2, below, summarizes the changes in the

uterus and the events in a woman’s monthly period.
The menstrual cycle can be divided into two parts:
the follicular phase and the luteal phase.

Follicular Phase. The follicular phase starts on day 1

of menstruation and ends with ovulation (day 14).
The brain (anterior pituitary) sends the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) to the
ovaries to signal follicles to grow and mature. These follicles produce estrogen.
Estrogen acts on the uterus to stimulate the thickening of the endometrium (uterine
lining). When estrogen peaks, it signals the brain to release Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
This triggers ovulation.
Ovulation occurs mid-cycle, around two weeks or so before menstruation starts. On
this day, the mature egg from the follicle travels from the ovary down to the fallopian
tube and into the uterus. At any time during the egg’s journey, sperm can fertilize it. If
fertilization does not occur during this phase, the egg continues to the uterus and dies
within 6 to 24 hours.
Luteal Phase. The luteal phase includes the day after ovulation to the day before your
next period. During the luteal phase, LH and FSH levels decrease. Once it releases its
egg, the empty follicle develops into a new structure called the corpus luteum which
produces progesterone. If the egg isn't fertilized, the corpus luteum degenerates and
estrogen level decreases. The hormonal changes of this phase are associated with
symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) such as pimples, headaches, fatigue,
dizziness, mood changes, bloating, pain, swelling of the breasts, and food cravings.

Evaluating learning Directions: Read each item carefully. Write only the letter of the correct answer for
each question. Use a separate sheet for your answers.
1. What do you call the process when an egg is released from the ovary?
A. Menarche C. Menstruation
B. Ovulation D. Menopause

Additional activities for
application or remediation
2. Approximately how often is an egg released from the ovaries in the female?
A. Every 15 days C. Every 28 days
B. Every 27 days D. Every 30 days
3. The release of which hormones stimulates the release of an egg from the ovaries?
A. Follicle Stimulating Hormone
B. Progesterone
C. Luteinizing Hormone
D. Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone
4. What happens if pregnancy among women doesn’t occur?
A. The uterine lining breaks down.
B. GnRH is released in the hypothalamus.
C. An egg is released from the follicle in the ovaries.
D. The fertilized egg implants itself in the ovaries.
5. What are the two main hormones that control the menstrual cycle?
A. FSH and LH
B. GnRH and GH
C. Estrogen and Progesterone
D. Androgen and Testosterone
Create your own menstrual cycle calendar. You decide the days that you want for
each phase but make sure that for each phase, you create a legend. Do it in your
notebook.

REMARKS

REFLECTION Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your students’
progress this week. What works? What else needs to be done to help the students
learn? Identify what help your instructional supervisors can provide for you so when
you meet them, you can ask them relevant questions.
