Q. ? 6. How the regularity of the cycle is maintained?
Ans. The Menstrual cycle is controlled by a centre in the brain called the Hypothalamus which acts as a menstrual clock. The clock operates through a small gland called the Anterior pituitary gland, situated at the base of the brain. This gland releases several hormones, two of which are particularly important for reproduction. One stimulates the release of these ripened eggs.

The eggs which mature during a menstrual cycle are surrounded by hormone-producing cell. The egg together with these cells is called Grafican follicle. The main hormone produced by this follicle is Oestrogen. During the cycle the surge in oestrogen production is responsible for stimulating the growth and formation of glands in the lining of the womb. Approximately 15 days prior to the next period, the pituitary gland releases a large amount of leutenizing hormone which stimulates the release of an egg from the ovary about 36 hours later. The egg then travels down a fallopian tube into the womb. Fertilization usually takes place in the fallopian tube.

The cells in the ovary which had formed the Grafican follicle now undergo changes which include taking up fat. They are now referred to as the corpus leuteum. They still produce oestrogen, but now also produce a hormone called Progesterone. Progesterone has two main functions in the menstrual cycle. The first is to alter the mucous at the neck of the womb, making it too thick for sperm to swim into the womb. The second is to make the glands lining the womb secrete a fluid which will nourish the newly fertilized egg.

If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus leuteum degenerates and breaks, the contents are shed in the form of menstruation & the cycle is repeated.
