    Here are the key points to discuss in your essay: - The menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones from the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovaries. - During the follicular phase, FSH stimulates follicle development in the ovaries. The developing follicles secrete estrogen, which thickens the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy. - Near mid-cycle, a surge of LH from the pituitary causes ovulation, or the release of a mature egg from one of the ovaries. - After ovulation, the remaining follicle cells in the ovary develop into the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone. Progesterone maintains the thickened uterine lining to sustain a potential pregnancy. - If pregnancy does

    LESSON TITLE: FEEDBACK MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN REGULATING PROCESSES IN THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE
    SYSTEM
    TOPIC: Female Cycles
    The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes a woman's body goes through in preparation for the possibility of
    pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg — a process called ovulation. At the same time, hormonal changes
    prepare the uterus for possible pregnancy.
    A. MENSTRUAL CYCLE
    Here are important events during the menstrual cycle:
    1. The pituitary gland controls and starts the cycle.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. The ovary releases an egg on day 14. Assume that no sperm is present.
    5. The egg moves through the oviduct and enters the uterus.
    6. Meanwhile the uterine lining continues to thicken.
    7. The egg has not been fertilized, therefore, it will not attach to the uterus.
    8. The thick uterine lining is no longer necessary, so the cells of the thickened uterine lining break off 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.
    9. After menstruation, the cycle starts again.

    B. FEEDBACK MECHANISM
    A feedback mechanism is the process through which the level of one substance influences 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.

    Figure 2. Negative feedback mechanisms in the menstrual cycle (source: DepEd G10 Science Learner’s Material)
    B.Feedback mechanisms in menstrual cycle:

    1. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the ovaries to release estrogen. High levels of estrogen then prevent
    the further production of FSH.
    2. Estrogen also stimulates the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which in turn controls
    the production of progesterone. High levels of progesterone then inhibit the further release of LH.
