The female reproductive system includes two ovaries, two fallopian tubes, the uterus, and the vagina (Fig. 1). The reproductive system is a subtle mechanism implementing a set of repeating physiological changes, i.e. a menstrual cycle. Regular menstrual cycle is vital for the woman’s ability to conceive.<\/p>\n

    The primary process of menstrual cycle is maturation of an eg (oocyte) which can be fertilized. At the same time the inner uterus layer (endometrium<\/a>) is getting prepared for reception of the fertilized oocyte (implantation<\/a>). The flow of this process is regulated by hormones.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In the beginning of menstrual cycle the glands located in female brain discharge into blood the hormones which stimulate the oocyte maturation in the ovary<\/a>> and ovulation<\/a>. These hormones are usually called after their functions, their names coming from Latin or Greek and usually used in abbreviated form.<\/p>\n

    The menstrual cycle is controlled by hormones produced in the brain.<\/h2>\n

    Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GRH<\/a>) plays a key role in hormone regulation of the menstrual cycle. It stimulates the discharge of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)<\/a> and luteinizing hormone (LH)<\/a> by the brain area, called hypophysis<\/a>. Both hormones influence the ovaries via blood. The conception is possible only if the processes sequence is accurate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
