4.4 Menstrual cycle

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Learning goals 4.4
  1. You know what ovulation is
  2. You can explain what menstruation is
  3. You know when these processes happen in the menstrual cycle
  4. You know how 4 hormones: FSH, LH, oestrogen and progesterone regulate the menstrual cycle

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

What is ovulation?
-Egg cell (ovum) is released from the ovary
-Unfertilized egg cell lives from 12 and 24 hours.
-After 24 hours the ovum will die and be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

What is menstruation?
  • Release of blood from the uterus lining through the vagina
  • Happens only if egg cell is not fertilized
  • Start around age 12

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

How does it happen? 
  • Hormones oestrogen en progesterone build up uterus lining

  • Fertilized egg could attach to this

  • No fertilized egg? --> Lining is shed

  • cylce: it happens over and over again (450 times in a life time)

Menstrual cycle
  • The menstrual cycle is the process that the female sex organs go through each month again; preparing an egg for fertilisation, and getting rid of it when it is not fertilised.

  • This whole process is regulated by hormones

  • This cycle generally lasts somewhere between 21 to 35 days, on average it is 28 days (that is why we normally count in months)
28 days = 4 weeks

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

3 Phases
Phase 1 (day 1-5) : menstruation
  • Uterus lining is shed through the vagina (no fertilized egg)

Phase 2 (day 6-12): pre-ovulation 
  • repair phase: uterus lining build new layer of mucus
  • new egg cell develops in the ovary

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

3 Phases
Ovulation (day 13-15)
  • A new ova is released and send down the oviduct

Phase 3: post-ovulation (day 16 - 28)
  • Uterus lining grows to form a 'nest' for the egg cell
  • No fertilized egg cell? --> cycle starts again!
