00:00 To wrap up our lecture on the physiology of the female reproductive system. 00:06 We recall that in the female reproductive physiology gamete formation is referred to as oogenesis. 00:15 The process of oogenesis occurs in the ovaries and is referred to as the ovarian cycle. 00:23 The product of oogenesis is the ovum which is ovulating from the ovary wall. 00:30 The ovarian cycle is regulated by hypothalamic and pituitary gonadotropins, as well as estrogen and progesterone. 00:41 Along with the ovaries the lining of the uterus the endometrium also goes through a cycle. 00:48 This cycle is referred to as the uterine or menstrual cycle. 00:53 The events of the ovarian cycle in the ovaries and the uterine cycle in the uterus are a coordinated processes. 01:02 The female sexual response is going to involve engorgement and orgasm. 01:08 But orgasm is not required for fertilization. 01:13 And lastly, sex determination in the embryo is determined by whether the sperm cell delivers an X or Y chromosome. 01:24 This concludes our lecture on the physiology of the female reproductive system. 01:30 Thank you for listening.
