 Feedback Mechanisms
Lesson Involved in Regulating
2 Processes in the Female
Reproductive System

The reproductive system of a female, unlike men, shows regular cyclic

changes that teleologically may be regarded as periodic preparation for pregnancy
and fertilization. In primates and humans, the cycle is a menstrual cycle, and its
most conspicuous feature is the periodic vaginal bleeding that occurs with the
shedding of uterine mucosa (menstruation). The length of the cycle is notoriously
variable, but an average figure is 28 days from the start of one menstrual period to
the start of next. By common usage, the days of the cycle are identified by number
starting with the first days of menstruation. It begins at puberty, ranging from the
ages of 10 to 16, and ends at menopause at an average age of 51.

What Is It

Menstrual Cycle and Menstruation

Ovulation is part of the menstrual cycle, which occurs each month in a

sexually mature female. Another part of the cycle is menstruation. Menstruation is
the process in which blood and other tissues are shed from the uterus and leave the
body through the vagina. It is also called a menstrual period or menses. The
menstrual cycle is sometimes divided into two cycles, called the ovarian cycle and
the uterine cycle. The ovarian cycle includes the events that occur in the ovary.
The uterine cycle refers to the events that occur in the uterus. The two cycles are
closely related, so here they are described together and referred to jointly as the
menstrual cycle.

The start of the menstrual cycle is a very important part of female

adolescence: it prepares the uterus to accept a new fertilized egg and to develop it to
a baby. The diagram below describes the stages of the menstrual cycle and explains
why each one is necessary. Note that the cycle begins with day 1, which is the day a
girl gets her period each month. Usually, the cycle lasts 28 days, but it may vary in
individuals.

5
 Figure 1. The Menstrual Cycle
https://www.edplace.com/worksheet_info/science/keystage3/year7/topic/
740/4732/reproductive-systems-and-the-menstrual-cycle

There are two key groups of hormones which control and coordinate the
menstrual cycle:


Pituitary hormones (follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone) are
released from the anterior pituitary gland and act on the ovaries to develop
 follicles.

Ovarian hormones (estrogen and progesterone) are released from the ovaries
and act on the uterus to prepare for pregnancy. 

Phases of the Menstrual Cycle

The phases of the menstrual cycle are summarized in Table below. The cycle
begins with the menstrual phase, which typically lasts from one to four days. This is
when menstruation occurs. During the menstrual phase, arteries that supply the
endometrium of the uterus constrict and break. Gradually, blood and endometrial
tissues detach from the inside of the uterus and pass from the uterus to the vagina
and then out of the body. If there is an immature egg in the uterus, it passes out of
the body with the menstrual flow.

The menstrual cycle (as shown in Table below) includes an ovarian and a
uterine cycle. Events in the ovarian cycle include maturation of a follicle, release of
an egg, and formation of the corpus luteum. Events in the uterine cycle include
menstruation, development of the endometrium, and thickening of the endometrium
in preparation for an egg.

6
 The Phases of the Menstrual Cycle

Name of Phase Days Events

Menstrual
Phase 1–4 Menstruation occurs

Follicular
Phase 5–13 Follicle matures and endometrium develops

Ovulation 14 Ovary releases an egg

Luteal Phase 15– Follicle becomes the corpus luteum and endometrium
28 prepares for an egg

The next phase of the cycle is called the follicular phase. After menstruation,
the endometrium in the uterus begins to build up again. At the same time, several
follicles start maturing in the ovaries. Only one of these maturing follicles will
complete maturation. The rest will eventually deteriorate and disappear. By the
middle of the menstrual cycle, around day 14, the remaining mature follicle releases
its oocyte from the ovary in the process of ovulation.

Following ovulation, the luteal phase begins. During the luteal phase, the
endometrium of the uterus continues to prepare for a fertilized egg. For example, it
becomes thicker and develops more blood vessels. At the same time, the mature
follicle that just released its egg develops into a structure called a corpus luteum.

If the egg is fertilized and implants, or embeds itself, in the endometrium of

the uterus, the endometrium will be maintained and help nourish the embryo. If the
egg is not fertilized, the endometrium will break down, leading to menstruation. This
begins a new cycle.

The events of the menstrual cycle always occur in the same sequence, but
their timing may vary considerably. There is a great deal of normal variation in the
length of the overall cycle and of the individual phases. Variation may occur from one
female to another and also from one cycle to the next for a given female.

Some females have symptoms—such as bloating, abdominal cramps, and

mood swings—for several days before or during menstruation each month. If the
symptoms are severe enough to interfere with daily life, the condition is called
premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. Symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
often can be helped with medications or lifestyle changes.

Key Events in the Menstrual Cycle

There are four key events that comprise a typical menstrual cycle: follicular phase,
ovulation, luteal phase and menstruation. These events are distinguished by changes to
hormonal levels, follicular development and the status of the endometrium

7
1. Follicular Phase
 Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted from the anterior pituitary
 and stimulates growth of ovarian follicles.
 The dominant follicle produces estrogen, which inhibits follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH) secretion (negative feedback) to prevent other follicles
 growing.
 Estrogen acts on the uterus to stimulate the thickening of the endometrial
layer.

2. Ovulation
 Midway through the cycle (~ day 12), estrogen stimulates the anterior
 pituitary to secrete hormones (positive feedback).
 This positive feedback results in a large surge of luteinizing hormone (LH)
 and a lesser surge of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
 Luteinizing hormone (LH) causes the dominant follicle to rupture and
release an egg (secondary oocyte) – this is called ovulation.

3. Luteal Phase
  The ruptured follicle develops into a slowly degenerating corpus luteum. 
 The corpus luteum secretes high levels of progesterone, as well as lower
 levels of estrogen.
 Estrogen and progesterone act on the uterus to thicken the endometrial
 lining (in preparation for pregnancy).
 Estrogen and progesterone also inhibit secretion of follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), preventing any follicles from
developing

4. Menstruation
 If fertilization occurs, the developing embryo will implant in the
endometrium and release hormones to sustain the corpus luteum. 
 If fertilization doesn’t occur, the corpus luteum eventually degenerates
 (forming a corpus albicans after ~ 2 weeks). 
 When the corpus luteum degenerates, estrogen and progesterone levels drop
 and the endometrium can no longer be maintained. 
 The endometrial layer is sloughed away and eliminated from the body as
 menstrual blood (i.e. a woman’s period). 
 As estrogen and progesterone levels are too now low to inhibit the anterior
pituitary, the cycle can now begin again. 

Role of Hormones
The same hormones that control female puberty and oogenesis also control
the menstrual cycle: estrogen, LH, and FSH. Estrogen controls the secretion of the
two pituitary hormones by acting on the hypothalamus, which controls the pituitary
gland. This is shown in Figure below. When the estrogen level rises in the blood, it
stimulates the pituitary (via the hypothalamus) to secrete more or less luteinizing
hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

8
Figure 2. This diagram shows how hormones control the menstrual cycle with
negative and positive feedback.
https://www.ck12.org/book/ck-12-biology-advanced-concepts/section/17.82/

In negative feedback, rising levels of hormones feedback to the hypothalamus

and pituitary gland to decrease the production of the hormones. In positive feedback,
rising levels of hormones feedback to increase hormone production. During most of
the menstrual cycle, estrogen and progesterone provide negative feedback to the
hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This keeps their levels more or less constant.
During days 12–14, however, estrogen provides positive feedback to the
hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This causes a rapid rise in the production of
estrogen by the ovaries and leads to ovulation.

Another hormone involved in the menstrual cycle is progesterone. The word

"progesterone" literally means “pro-gestational hormone.” Progesterone is a
hormone that promotes gestation, or the carrying of a fetus. The function of
progesterone in the menstrual cycle is to maintain the endometrium of the uterus.

Changes in the levels of these four hormones (estrogen, luteinizing hormone,

follicle stimulating hormone, and progesterone) occur during the menstrual cycle.
After menstruation occurs, estrogen secreted by the ovaries increases. This causes
the endometrium of the uterus to thicken. FSH from the pituitary stimulates follicles
in the ovaries to mature. The maturing follicles produce estrogen, and the level of
estrogen in the blood rises. When estrogen reaches a high level in the blood, it
stimulates the pituitary gland to release a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH). The
spike in luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the one remaining mature follicle to
burst open and release its oocyte.

During the first half of the cycle, negative feedback keeps levels of follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone
relatively stable. During ovulation, positive feedback causes a burst of follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estrogen. During the
second half of the cycle, progesterone rises as the corpus luteum in the ovary
matures and produces this hormone. Negative feedback helps keep levels of the other
three hormones fairly constant.
9
 After the oocyte is released, luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the mature
follicle to develop into a corpus luteum. The corpus luteum then starts secreting
progesterone, which maintains the endometrium of the uterus. What happens next
depends on whether the egg has been fertilized or not.

 If the egg has been fertilized, it will soon start producing a hormone that helps
maintain the corpus luteum. As a result, the corpus luteum will continue
producing progesterone and maintain the endometrium. 

 If the egg has not been fertilized, the corpus luteum will disintegrate and stop
producing progesterone. Without progesterone, the endometrium will break
down, detach from the uterus, and pass out of the body during menstruation. 

Figure 3. Menstrual Hormones

hormones-homeostasis-and/menstrual-cycle.html

A feedback mechanism is the process through which the level of one

substance influences the level of another substance. A negative feedback affects the
production of hormones in the menstrual cycle. High levels of one hormone may
inhibit the production of another hormone.

Menopause
As women approach their mid-40s to mid-50s, their ovaries begin to lose their
sensitivity to follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
Menstrual periods become less frequent and finally cease; this is menopause. There are
still eggs and potential follicles on the ovaries, but without the stimulation of follicle
stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), they will not produce a viable egg to
be released. The outcome of this is the inability to have children.
The side effects of menopause include hot flashes, heavy sweating (especially at
night), headaches, some hair loss, muscle pain, vaginal dryness, insomnia, depression,
weight gain, and mood swings. Estrogen is involved in calcium metabolism and, without
it, blood levels of calcium decrease. To replenish the blood, calcium is lost from bone
which may decrease the bone density and lead to osteoporosis. Supplementation of
estrogen in the form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can prevent bone loss,
but the therapy can have negative side effects. While hormone replacement therapy

10
(HRT) is thought to give some protection from colon cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease,
macular degeneration, and possibly depression, its negative side effects include
increased risk of: stroke or heart attack, blood clots, breast cancer, ovarian cancer,
endometrial cancer, gall bladder disease, and possibly dementia.

For most women in the U.S., the menstrual cycle continues into their forties.
Then it gradually becomes more and more irregular until it finally stops altogether,
generally by their early fifties. Menopause occurs when a woman has gone through
12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. She can no longer reproduce
because her ovaries no longer produce eggs.

The cause of menopause is a natural decline in estrogen secretion by the

ovaries as a woman age. It may take from several months to a few years for her body
to adjust to the drop-in estrogen. During this time, she may experience hot flashes,
mood swings, and other symptoms.
