Do Now: 1) Pass forward Regents Questions2) Compare the female reproductive systems of birds, amphibians and mammals.

AIM: How is the menstrual cycle regulated?
Menstrual Cycle
Function: 1) Prepare the egg for fertilization2) Prepares the uterus to support a fetus
Age: 11-13 up until the mid-50’s (menopause)
Length: Approximately 28 days
During the menstrual cycle, the endometrium (uterine lining) thickensand number of blood vessels increases
Endometrium must:
• Support the fetus• Provide nutrition• Remove Waste
At Day 28, the endometrial wall begins to break down and is shedded from the body in the process of menstruation
At Day 14, an egg is released through ovulation
The menstrual cycle is controlled by the endocrine system
Anterior Pituitary FSH ovary estrogen LH ovary ovulation
Four phases of the menstrual cycle
1) Follicle Phase- low levels of estrogen, stimulate GnRH is released, increase LH + FSH- uterine wall begins to thicken- follicles mature, estrogen levels rise
2) Ovulation- release of an egg
3) Luteal Phase- progesterone, and estrogen are released
4) Menstruation- shedding of the uterine wall
Corpus Luteum
