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.
