Flow Chart For Menstrual Cycle: © WWW - Teachitscience.co - Uk 2016 25764 Page 1 of 2

The document is a flow chart that outlines the key hormones and their functions in the female menstrual cycle. It shows how follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) causes an egg to develop through stimulating oestrogen production. Oestrogen then stimulates lutenising hormone (LH) production, which triggers ovulation on day 14 through stimulating progesterone. Progesterone then maintains the uterine lining until it falls and the lining breaks down.
