Menopause: “climacteric” is the time in most women's lives when menstrual period stop permanently, and they are no longer able to bear children

Under the influence of the ______ which induces (GnRH) gonadotrophin releasing hormone, the anterior pituitary gland secretes 2 gonadotrophins hormonse: 1. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). 2. Luteinising hormone (LH).

The level of FSH rises in the 1st half of cycle & when the ______ level reaches a certain point its production stopped.

______: Causes several Graafian follicles to develop & enlarge one of them more than the other.

During the female reproductive years, cyclic changes occur in the ovaries which is called ovarian cycle & uterus is called menstrual or endometrial cycle

The anterior pituitary gland secretes two gonadotrophins hormones: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinising hormone (LH)

Luteinising hormone (LH) is responsible for the release of an ovum during ovulation

The level of FSH rises in the 1st half of the cycle and when the estrogen level reaches a certain point its production stopped

The menstrual period stops permanently and women are no longer able to bear children at the time known as menopause

FSH is the hormone responsible for the release of an ovum during ovulation

The menstrual or endometrial cycle occurs in the ovaries

The anterior pituitary gland secretes three gonadotrophins hormones: FSH, LH, and GnRH

The level of LH rises in the first half of the cycle

The Corpus Luteum produces both estrogen and progesterone
