8. Describe the menstrual cycle and how it is


influenced by different hormones.

NOTE: NO marks will be awarded for


answers in the form of flow charts
or diagrams.

Your Answer:

The menstrual cycle is a series of events


that occur in the female body to
prepare it for possible pregnancy
- Which involves ovarian cycle
- and the uterine cycle
- It takes an average of 28 days
- The pituitary gland/hypophysis
- secretes FSH
which stimulates the development of a
primary follicle in the ovary
- The developing follicle/Graafian follicle
- secretes oestrogen
which stimulates the thickening of the
lining of the uterus/endometrium
- Around day 13 pituitary
gland/hypophysis
- secretes LH
- which cause ovulation to occur
- The remains of the Graafian follicle
develops into the corpus luteum
which secretes the progesterone
which continues to stimulate the thickening
of the uterus
- High levels of progesterone
- inhibits the production of FSH
so that the ovaries are no longer stimulated
to produce another follicle
- If fertilisation does not occur, the corpus
luteum degenerates
and stops producing progesterone
- The pituitary gland/hypophysis is no
longer inhibited in its production of
FSH and a new follicle develops
- The thick endometrium is no longer
maintained/ it degenerates
and is shed together with
blood/menstruation takes place
