To describe:
The normal hormonally mediated feedback system, which regulates the reproductive system of the female.
Concept introduction:
The female reproductive system is composed of sex organs (internal and external), which function in the generation of progenies. At birth, the female reproductive system is undeveloped and attains maturity at the puberty (able to generate gametes and to carry a fetus). The female reproductive system is comprised of internal (vagina, ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes) and external structures (vulva). The hormones like progesterone and estrogen (female sex steroid hormone) and the pituitary gonadotropin are involved in the generation of major sex structures, their maintenance, and reproductive functions.
