Explanation / Answer
1. Oxytocin is released during social interaction. It strengthen the bond between two individual. It acts by increasing serotonin which is a reward hormone. It also helps in elevation of mood.
2. Effect of FSH
Function of LH
3. In follicular phase the development of domaninat follicle occurs. This dominant follicle release estrogen and level of estrogen increases throughout this phase. When dominant follicle has matured then there is sudden increase in LH called as LH surge which cause ovulation. The estrogen released cause development of endometrium.
4. In luteal phase the ruptured follicle form corpus luteum which secrete progesterone. Progesterone makes the endometrium secretory and ready for implantation. If there is no pregnancy then corpus luteum degenerate which lead to decrease in progesterone level. This progesterone withdrawl lead to sloughing of endometrium which cause menstrual bleeding.
