Definition
| 1. Produce OVA (provide 1/2 genetic material for offspring && provide ample cellular components for first cell of zygote) 2. provide environment for SPERM and OVA to meet and fertilize. 3. provide environment for development of EMBRYO and FETUS. 4. give BIRTH. 5. NOURISH infant in early monthys of life |

|
|
Term
| Lutein cells now secrete what? |
|
Definition
| high volumes of PROGESTERONE and ESTROGEN |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Brest Tissue; High estrogen=breast cell proliferation - Low estrogen=Breast cell death |
|
|
Term
| What happens if pregnancy DOES NOT occur? |
|
Definition
| CORPUS LUTEUM degenerates & PROGESTERONE secretion is greatly reduced |
|
|
Term
| What happens if pregnancy DOES occur? |
|
Definition
| CORPUS LATEUM is maintained by the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)(from the embryo) which mimics the action of LH and stimulates the corpus lateum to continue to produce pregesterone |
|
|
Term
| What takes over progesterone production to maintain the uterine endometruim? |

Definition
|
|
Term
| What interrupts monthly cycles from puberty to menopause? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What contributes to PERIMENOPAUSE? |
|
Definition
| Granulosa cell competence declines (reduced estrogen production) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Low levels of estrogen reduce negative feedback to hypothalamus and pituitary gland, causing static high levels of LH and FSH secretion |
