The Reproductive System Gustavo Peralta Period 5
hormones of the reproductive system and their regulation
The hormones controlling the female reproductive system include gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and leutenizing hormone (LH), all of which are produced in the brain; oestrogen and progesterone produced by the ovaries and the corpus luteum; and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG)
Major functions of the
Reproductive system
To produce egg and sperm cells.
To transport and sustain these cells.
To nurture the developing offspring.
To produce hormones.

formation of
gametes
Formation of Gametes. Both the male and female gametes are formed during a process of cellular reproduction called meiosis. During meiosis, the DNA is only replicated or copied one time. However, the cells are divided into four separate cells.
Events of the female hormonal
cycles (3)
Follicular (before release of the egg)
Ovulatory (egg release)
Luteal (after egg release)
