Ovarian Follicles
Figure 27.12
Oogenesis
• follicular phase
- follicular growth of the ovaries
- lasts 10-14 days
• ovulation
- release of egg around day 14
• luteal phase
- transformation of follicle into the
corpus luteum
Events of Oogenesis

Ovarian Cycle

Ovulation

Uterine Cycle
• menses
- menstrual bleeding
• proliferative phase
- endometrium adds a new layer
of cells (functional
endometrium)
• secretory phase
- corpus luteum hormones
enhance endometrium secretions

Uterine (Menstrual)
Cycle
▪ Series of cyclic changes that the uterine
endometrium goes through each month in response
to ovarian hormones in the blood
Figure 28.20
Menses
▪ Follicular phase
▪ Egg matures
▪ Ovulation
▪ Egg released
▪ Luteal phase
▪ Corpus luteum
▪ Endometrium
▪ Prep for blastocyst
▪ No Pregnancy

Estrogens
• effects are:
- progestational changes
in the endometrium
- decreased uterine motility
- thickens cervical mucus
Extrauterine Effects of Estrogens
and Progesterone
▪ Estrogen levels rise during puberty
▪ Promote oogenesis and follicle growth in the ovary
▪ Exert anabolic effects on the female reproductive
tract
▪ Uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina grow larger and
become functional
▪ Uterine tubes and uterus exhibit enhanced
motility
▪ Vaginal mucosa thickens and external genitalia
