FSH & LH AND THE REGULATION OF THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS by Professor Fink

In this video lecture, Professor Fink describes the Regulation of the Reproductive Organs (Ovaries & Testes) by the Gonadotropic Hormones (Follicle Stimulating Hormone; FSH & Luteinizing Hormone (LH). Included in the detailed discussion is the Negative Feedback Loop involved in regulating circulating plasma Estrogen, Progesterone in the Female & Testosterone levels in the Male. The Menstrual Cycle is reviewed and the efficacy of Birth Control Pills (Oral Contraceptives) are explained by a Negative Feedback on the Pituitary Gland. A contrast is made between the continuous release of FSH & LH in the male versus a cyclical release of FSH & LH in the female. Reference is made to the GnRH, Pre-Ovulatory Phase and Post-Ovulatory Phase, Ovarian Follices, follicle cells, Ovulation, Corpus Luteum, Inhibin, Spermatogenesis, and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG).
