Situations
Brief Explanation
21.
Luteal phase
Follicle changes into corpus luteum resulting to
an increase in estrogen and progesterone levels
that keeps the endometrium thick.
22.
Ovulation
23.
Childbirth
24.
Lactation
25.
Menstruation
The dominant follicle releases estrogen which
stimulates LH and FSH release to promote further
follicular growth.
The stretching of uterine walls causes
contractions that further stretch the walls. These
continues until birthing occurs.
Suckling stimulates milk production which
causes further feeding (continues until baby
stops feeding).
Uterine lining sheds due to reabsorption of
corpus luteum and decreased level of estrogen
and progesterone.
