Study Notes
Ovaries and Hormones
- Ovaries secrete female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Estrogen
- Secreted by Graffian follicle under the stimulation of FSH.
- Has negative feedback upon FSH.
- Responsible for secondary sex characteristics in females at puberty.
- Aids in healing and repair of uterine wall after menstruation.
- Deficiency in young females leads to failure of sexual maturation.
- Deficiency in adults leads to sterility.
- Oversecretion may lead to development of fibroids (abnormal growth) in uterus and polycystic ovaries.
