Science-10 Q3 Module-2 Week-2
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you to
deepen your knowledge about Feedback Mechanisms Involved in Regulating
Processes in the Female Reproductive System. The scope of this module permits it to
be used in many different learnings situations. The Languange used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of studnets. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence off the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Describe the feedback mechanisms involved in
regulating processes in the female reproductive system
(e.g., menstrual cycle)
What’s In
Directions: Arrange the following jumbled letters to form word/s related to endocrine and
reproductive systems.
1. YVORA = ______________
2. TRIONATUMENS = ______________
3. MONEROH = ______________
4. DLANGS = ______________

What’s New
Identify the terms described from the following statements. Choose your answer
from the word bank and write it /them on the space provided before each number.
WORD BANK
1. What Is It
A feedback mechanism is the process through which the level of one substance
influence the level of another substance. A negative feedback affects the production of
hormones in the menstrual cycle. High levels of one hormone may inhibit the production
of another hormone.
2
Events during the menstrual cycle:
The pituitary gland releases hormones that cause the egg in the ovary to mature.
The luteinizing hormone (LH) initiates the maturation of the follicles, converts ruptured
follicles into corpus luteum and causes the secretion of progesterone. The follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH) assists in the maturation of the follicles and causes the
secretion of estrogen from the follicles.The egg moves through the oviduct and enters
the uterus.
Meanwhile, the ovary itself releases a hormone called estrogen, which causes
the uterine lining to increase in thickness. The uterine lining becomes thicker so that the
fertilized egg can attach to it. The ovary releases an egg on day 14. Assume that no
sperm is present.
The pituitary gland controls and starts the cycle. Meanwhile the uterine lining
continues to thicken. The thick uterine lining is no longer necessary, so the cells of the
thickened uterine lining break of and leave the vagina. The unfertilized egg is lost and
some blood is lost too. This loss of cells from the uterine lining, blood, and egg is called
menstruation.
After menstruation, the cycle starts again. The egg has not been fertilized,
therefore, it will not attach to the uterus.
What’s More
Instruction: Understand the following questions and write your answer on the space
provided.
1. What happens to an egg during the first 14 days of the menstrual cycle?

the production of follicle stimulating hormone?
