    Study Notes

    Menstrual Cycle and Hormones

    • Estrogen is responsible for causing mucus to be thin, transparent, and highly stretchable.
    • The average age of onset for menarche is around 12-13 years old.
    • The main event of the follicular phase before ovulation is the growth of follicles in the ovaries.
    • The average duration of menstrual flow is 3-7 days.
    • The average amount of menstrual flow per period is around 35-50 ml.
    • Progesterone is thought to be the cause of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
    • Prolactin stimulates the ductile structures of the breasts.
    • Progesterone has a thermogenic effect and increases basal body temperature.
    • The primary role of the corpus luteum after ovulation is to produce progesterone to maintain the pregnancy.
    • Spinnbarkeit is the stretchy, thread-like quality of cervical mucus, indicating ovulation.

    Menstrual Cycle and Pain

    • Exercise is the most helpful activity for dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps).
    • The signs of ovulation mentioned are a change in cervical mucus (Spinnbarkeit) and a slight increase in basal body temperature.

    Hormonal Changes

    • Progesterone causes the glands of the uterine endometrium to become corkscrew or twisted in appearance.
    • Estrogen promotes the growth of the acini cells of the breasts and causes a tingling sensation and fullness before menstruation.

    Fertility and Conception

    • The fallopian tube plays a crucial role in the process of conception by facilitating fertilization.
    • The occurrence of fertilization depends on the timing of ovulation.
    • The key event during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle is the preparation of the uterus for implantation.

    Puberty

    • The average age range for menarche is 11-16 years old.
    • The primary reproductive organ changes during puberty in boys include the growth of the testes, epididymis, and penis.
    • The scientific term for the physiological changes that occur in fertile female humans and apes is menstruation.
