Ciclo Menstrual

El ciclo menstrual es el patrón cíclico de actividad hormonal y tisular que prepara un ambiente uterino adecuado para la fertilización de un óvulo e implantación de un embrión. El ciclo menstrual incluye un ciclo endometrial y ovárico que dependen el uno del otro para su correcto funcionamiento. Hay 2 fases del ciclo ovárico (folicular y lútea) y 3 fases del ciclo endometrial (descamación o menstruación, proliferativa y secretora). El ciclo menstrual está regulado por el eje hipotalámico-hipofisario-ovárico a través de la hormona foliculoestimulante ( FSH FSH A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis. Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates gametogenesis and the supporting cells such as the ovarian granulosa cells, the testicular sertoli cells, and leydig cells. Fsh consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

Descripción General

Terminología

  • Menarca: 1er período menstrual
  • Menstruación: el tiempo de menstruar
  • Perimenopausia: intervalo (meses a años) de irregularidades menstruales que conducen al AL Amyloidosis cese total de los LOS Neisseria ciclos
  • Menopausia: cese de la menstruación durante 12 meses o más

It commonly manifests in young women as tender, erythematous nodules on the shins. Erythema Nodosum 2 componentes: ciclo ovárico y ciclo endometrial.

  • El ciclo menstrual promedio de un adulto es de 28–35 días.
  • La duración del ciclo “normal” se define como 24-38 días.

Etapas de maduración del folículo ovárico.

Etapas de maduración de un folículo ovárico. Durante la fase folicular del ciclo menstrual, la hormona estimulante del folículo (FSH) estimula la maduración de los folículos primarios. Normalmente, sólo un folículo (el folículo dominante) madura hasta convertirse en un folículo graafiano. El folículo de Graaf se rompe, liberando el ovocito (ovulación), y se transforma en un cuerpo lúteo. Durante la fase lútea del ciclo menstrual, el cuerpo lúteo produce las hormonas (especialmente la progesterona) necesarias para provocar la maduración del endometrio y favorecer potencialmente un embarazo temprano.

It is genetically-programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth. Ischemic Cell Damage.
