muddiest point

i do not get what we need to learn about birth control and what about it will be on the test if anything.

Muddy Point

My muddiest point is how the estrogen and progesterone give feedback and kind of the basis of the menstrual cycle.

Stuck in the Mud

My muddiest point in this unit is the different between FSH and LH. I know they are hormones but do they have different functions?

MUDDIEST POINT

Hey guys, I know we have been through alot last week and this week. We have watched alot of very GRAPHIC videos, but it's all good, it's nature... i think. Anyhow, what i still have trouble is understanding the menstrual cycle. Also, I'm not sure how estrogen and progesterone play a part in the menstrual cycle?
If anyone can help explain more clearly, that would be great!
Thanks!

point de muddy.

hi everyone! TessaN hereeeee. I missed one day of class where we went over the menstrual cycle, so can someone just give me a summary of what happens and what hormones cause to happen and what the egg does? thanks.

SCRIBE!!

HEY EVERYONE! It's Allie, and today was Tuesday, January 10. In class we reviewed the Menstrual Cycle, and for the rest of class we watched clips of a video. We went over the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester, and DELIVERY!! FUN? Yeah I know. What we learned was, in the 1st trimester the head is massive compared to the body, and the placenta is the life support for the fetus. 2nd trimester to start out the fetus is no bigger than a fist, and by the end of the trimester the fetus starts to mimic normal movements such as swallowing, and grasping. 3rd trimester the fetus gains weight FAST, he/she can recognize their mothers voice, and can recognize and move to music (if it's recognized). During delivery, the cervix has to open 10 centimeters, and any where around 2 weeks a way from the due date is safe for the baby to be born. AND REMEMBER STUDY FOR THE TEST THURSDAY!!!!!!

Muddiest point YO

Hey guys! Ok my muddiest point is understanding what the egg does in the menstrual cycle. Or well actually the whole menstrual cycle... I understand that it uses feedback mechanisms and what glands make which hormone and stuff...but im kinda confused about the details of the menstrual cycle.

HELP NEEDED

heyy its eleni, ok so my muddiest point is the feedback loop but by reading all the other posts, i think weve got that covered soooo im going to put up a different one...

im really confused as to what the difference between estrogen and progesterone is. also if piuitary gland is for growth then whats the hypothalamus for?

^^christmas colors, so sad its over :(

*Miracle of Life* Muddy point (?)

This unit was interesting and miraculous to me! The formation of a baby was a more difficult and complex cycle than I thought. A lot of the things we learned so far were pretty straight forward, but I got confused on gastrulation and differentiation. What exactly is the difference between them!?

MUDDIEST POINT...

This has been an interesting unit! AM I RIGHT? Well... my muddiest point is.. like knowing SOME parts of the male/reproductive system, its so hard to remember where everything goes and what their function is!

Muddiest Point

My muddiest point is what are all the different stages of the menstrual cycle?

Scribe of the day YAY

Hey guys it's catie! So i forgot to post last time...sorry about that. but here's what we did in class today!




We learned all about the Menstrual Cycle and how it runs!



~It is regulated by negative Feedback Mechanisms. It all starts with the hypothalamus, who controls the pituitary gland. Responding to low Estrogen levels, it signals the pituitary to secrete more FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH.



~Then, the follicle (EGG!) develps, which releases more estrogen. This 1st half of the cycle is called the FOLLICULAR phase.

~Next comes Ovulation, where the egg is released.

~Then it's the Luteal Phase. Here, uterine lining builds up. The egg can get fertilized.


If the egg is NOT fertilized, this cycle starts all over again! woo hoo!

****

The chart displays how each gland produces the hormones of the menstrual cycle. (Sorry it's not lined up well...i drew it on paint). Basically, FSH triggers the Ovary to produce Estrogen (that's why they both have purple stars) and LH triggers the Ovary to produce Progesteron (green stars).

******
We also learned a little about contraception today. Contraception means to stop fertilization. In other words, BIRTH CONTROL! There are many different form of birth control, such as pills, condoms, etc. But abstinence is the only 100% affective way to prevent pregnancy.

REALLY MUDDY POINT

My muddy point is what happens in alll the different stages in the Menstrual Cycle.. help please.

Muddiest Point

My muddiest point for this unit is what happens in the stages of development and pregnancy

Muddiest point

The muddiest point for me would have to be the stages of a fertilized egg. I get some of them but not all. If you could give me a little help, please.
