- Menstrual cycle
- Both FSH and LH
secretion by the
anterior pituitary
increases, with FSH
increase being slightly
greater than LH
- -LH stimulates the granulosa cells and theca cells
to be converted to luteal cells → Corpus luteum
-Progesterone: Stimulate the uterine
endometrium to become secretory and produce a
source of nutrient for the developing blastocyst.
Stimulate the cervical mucus to become thick:
prevent entry of sperm and bacteria Causes
basal body temperature to rise slightly.
- If no implantation occurs,
the low levels of FSH and
LH causes the corpus
luteum to degenerate
Degeneration → decrease
release of estrogen and
progesterone Decreased
stimulation of the
endometrial cells by these
two hormones
