Primary&Secondary sex organ
Ovaries
Two Oviduct
Uterus
Vagina
1) Estrogen
2) Progesterone
Function of estrogen
Function of estrogen is to help with female growth and
reproductive development.
-The uterus:
On the vagina:
2) On the skeleton:
• It stimulates the osteoblastic activity &deposition of Ca++& PO4.
• It causes early union of the epiphysis so; the mature female is usually shorter than
the male.
Progesterone is one of the hormones in our bodies that stimulates and regulates various functions.
The hormone is produced in the ovaries, the placenta (when a woman gets pregnant) and the adrenal glands.
Progesterone plays a role in maintaining pregnancy and It helps prepare female body for conception and
pregnancy and regulates the monthly menstrual cycle.
On primary female sex organ(ovaries)
1) On the uterus:
• It promotes the progestational changes of the endometruim during the secretory phase of the
menstrual cycle.
3) On Vagina:
• It increases the body temperature by about 0.5C in the second half of menstrual cycle (by its direct
action on the hypothalamus).
• Progesterone in large dose produces natriuresis because it antagonizes the aldosterone by competitive
inhibition.
1) Hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis
• Gonadotropin releasing hormones (Gnrh) (LHRF & FSHRF) are polypeptide hormones which control
the anterior pituitary gonadotropins (LH &FSH) via the hypothalamic hypophyseal portal connection.
• LHRF is secreted from the hypothalamus in a pulsatile form lasting for several minutes and occur
every few hours this in turn causes pulsatile output of LH.
Control of the ovarian hormones
LH induces both ovulation and the corpus luteum's subsequent secretion of progesterone and
estrogen, reaching a peak on the 13th day after the start of menstruation.
Control of the ovarian hormones
• Estrogen (in small amount) & progesterone (in large amount) inhibit FSH & LH secretions through the
following mechanisms:
This occur over almost all the course of the cycle except the two days before ovulation.
Control of the ovarian hormones
• Estrogen (large amounts), two days before ovulation, stimulates the anterior pituitary, for an unknown
cause
