Introduction to the female reproductive cycle Dr Sulé Gunter CRICOS Provider Code: 00017B TEQSA: PRV12072 Year outcomes Describe the key events in the female reproductive cycle, inclusive of the events in the ovary and uterus and the role of the hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis. Purpose of the reproductive system 1. Form specialized cells for sexual reproduction called gametes (sperm and ova). 2. Bring gametes together. 3. Combine genetic information contained within the male and female gametes (fertilization). 4. Support the development of the foetus (gestation) and birth of the baby (parturition).
