Ovulation ceases during pregnancy because the circulating levels of estrogen and progesterone are high and this inhibits the release of follicle stimulating hormone (which is necessary for ovulation.)

What two things occur during the menstural cycle?

Two key events during the menstrual cycle are the growth of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) in preparation for a possible pregnancy, and the release of an egg from the ovary during ovulation. If pregnancy does not occur, the endometrium is shed during menstruation.


What happens to ovaries after pregnancy?

After pregnancy, the ovaries typically resume their normal function, but their activity can vary depending on factors such as breastfeeding and hormonal changes. During breastfeeding, the ovaries may produce fewer hormones, leading to delayed ovulation and menstruation. Once breastfeeding decreases or stops, ovarian function usually normalizes, and menstrual cycles generally return to their pre-pregnancy patterns. However, individual experiences can differ significantly.


What female reproductive cell stops at prophase 1?

The female reproductive cell that stops at prophase I is the primary oocyte. During fetal development, these primary oocytes enter meiosis but are arrested in prophase I until puberty. Upon maturation, some of these oocytes will complete meiosis during the menstrual cycle, while others remain in this arrested state until ovulation occurs.


What female hormone is low during menstruation?

During menstruation, the female hormone estrogen is typically low compared to other phases of the menstrual cycle. Estrogen levels drop after ovulation if pregnancy does not occur, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining and the onset of menstruation.


Where does the mature egg go?

The mature egg is released from the ovary during ovulation and travels through the fallopian tube towards the uterus. If the egg is fertilized by sperm along the way, it may implant in the uterus and develop into a pregnancy. If not fertilized, the egg will disintegrate and be shed during menstruation.
