    What Is The Importance and Stages in The Human Menstrual Cycle?

    Uploaded by

    Saruchi Sharma
    The human menstrual cycle involves four stages over approximately 28 days: 1) The follicle stage where an egg develops and estrogen levels rise, thickening the uterine lining. 2) Ovulation occurs around day 15 when an egg is released from the ovaries. 3) In the corpus luteum stage, the follicle left behind produces progesterone to sustain the uterine lining. 4) Menstruation occurs if fertilization does not happen, where the uterine lining sheds for 3-5 days and the cycle begins again under the influence of fluctuating hormone levels.

    The Human Menstrual Cycle

    What is the importance and


    stages in the human menstrual
    cycle?
    Sign and Symtoms of
    Mensuration.
    • Irritation.

    • Back ache.

    • Abdominal pain.

    • Cramps.
    Purpose of Menstrual Cycle
    • Each month an egg matures in a female
    for possible pregnancy
    • The menstrual cycle is the process that
    prepares for pregnancy every month
    through 4 stages, culminating with
    menstruation if the egg is NOT fertilized in
    that month
    Hormones That Regulate the
    Menstrual Cycle
    • Progesterone: prepares uterus for
    pregnancy. “Pregnancy Hormone”
    • Estrogen- secreted in ovaries
    • FSH- Follicle Stimulating Hormone
    (pituitary gland)- stimulates development
    of ovum in a follicle
    • LH- Lutenizing Hormone- develops the
    corpus luteum
    Menstrual Cycle Hormone
    Fluctuations
    Stages of the Menstrual Cycle
    • Between a 28-30 day cycle
    • Four Stages
    – Stage 1: Follicle Stage
    – Stage 2: Ovulation
    – Stage 3: Corpus Luteum
    – Stage 4: Mensturation
    Stage 1: Follicle Stage (10-14
    days)
    • FSH is secreted
    • Follicle develops in the ovary (usually 1)
    • Follicle begins to secretes estrogen
    • Increase in estrogen stimulates uterine
    lining to thicken preparation for possible
    pregnancy
    Stage 2: Ovulation (~day 15)
    • Estrogen causes decrease of FSH which
    stimulates the release of LH
    • When LH is at peak (LH surge) ovulation
    takes place
    – Ovulation: release to mature egg into the
    Fallopian tube (oviduct)
    – Considered the middle of menstrual cycle
    Egg Releasing from Follicle
    Stage 3: Corpus Luteum Stage
    (10 -14 days)
    • Yellow tissue fills up the broken follicle
    after ovulation. Tissue is called corpus
    luteum
    • Corpus luteum secretes progesterone
    which allows for continued uterine lining
    and decrease of FSH
    Stage 4: Menstruation (3-5 days)
    • Shedding of the uterine lining and egg if it
    is not fertilized
    • LH is lowered
    • Progesterone is lowered
    • Estrogen level drops
    • Pituitary gland begins to secrete FSH
    again for the next cycle.
    • Growth of Endometrial Lining Over The
    Month
    All hormones and changes
