Why are the interactions of hormones and tissues in the menstrual cycle considered to be feedback mechanisms?

Answer 1

In the menstrual cycle, the initial purpose is to make a follicle (thing in which the egg develops)..FSH or Follicle stimulating hormone initiates the formation of the follicle. LH or Luteinizing hormone assist FSH in the formation of the follicle and to develope its ability to secrete estrogen. As the follicle progresses in its development it begans to secrete estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen passes into the blood and travels to the pititary gland where it turns off the production of FSH. This is an example of negative feedback. The presence of estrogen in the blood sitmulate the production of LH and this would be a positive feedback.

Answer 2

The interactions of hormones and tissues in the menstrual cycle are considered feedback mechanisms because the release of hormones is regulated by the body's response to the previous levels of hormones. For example, rising estrogen levels stimulate the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which triggers ovulation. After ovulation, rising progesterone levels inhibit further release of LH. This feedback loop helps regulate the timing and progression of the menstrual cycle.
