  1. The Ovaries And the Corresponding Hormones and Gland By: Caitlin Beamer, Katie Waito, and Heather Campbell

  2. Behind the Bladder Near the Colon On sides of the uterus On the Fallopian Tubes Has anchors Location of Gland www.pennstatehershey.org

  3. Hormones Produced 2 Steroid Hormones • Estrogen • Produced in the ovaries, liver, adrenal glands, and breasts • Progesterone • Produced in the brain, ovaries, and in pregnant woman’s uteruses • Found in milk

  4. Target Cells Target Cells- are cells that alter their genetic material in reaction to a hormone that binds to the cell’s protein receptors. Estrogen: Uterine cells, Lipid cells, Breast cancer cells Progesterone: Myometrium cells, PR-A, and PR-B cells

  5. Effects of the Hormones EstrogenDominance – is when there is an imbalance of progesterone and estrogen, either high levels of estrogen or low levels of progesterone. Progesterone counter balances estrogen. • Some effects of EstrogenDominance • Headaches and anxiety • Poor sleep patterns • Impairs blood sugar control, at risk of blood clots • Reduces oxygen levels in cells • Increases risk of breast and prostate cancer

  6. Effect of the Hormones Cont’d • Some effects of Normal levels of Estrogen • Enlarges breasts and hips • Decreases growth rate • Increases metabolic rate • Thickens the uterine lining • Stimulates the endometrium • Lubricates the vagina • Skin and bone health • Some effects of Lower levels of Estrogen • Relieves hot flashes • Improves memory • Improves sleeping disorders

  7. Effect of the Hormones Cont’d • Some effects of Excess Progesterone Levels • Over Tired • Depression • Digestive Problems • Some effects of Normal Progesterone Levels • Improves voice tone • Stimulates new bone production • Restores proper oxygen levels in cells • Decreases risk for cancer • Some effects of Lower Progesterone Levels • Increase of heart, gall bladder, and autoimmune diseases • Increases risk of certain cancers

  8. Triggers/ Controls • Estrogen is stimulated by the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) • FSH is controlled by another hormone called gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) • Progesterone is stimulated by the luteinizing hormone (LH) • LH is also stimulated by GnRH • Hypothalamus ---> GnRH --->Pituitary --->FSH---> Folicle ---> Estrogen • Hypothalamus ---> GnRH ---> Pituitary ---> LH---> Corpus luteum ---> Progesterone

  9. Triggers/ Controls Cont’d http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/S/SexHormones.html#Regulation

  10. Complications • Extreme Lack of Estrogen • Lack of periods • Hot flashes • Thinning, wrinkling and general aging of skin • Libido, vaginal dryness • Mood swings • Osteoporosis • More likely for heart disease

  11. Complications Cont’d Extreme Lack of Progesterone • Anxiety/ depression • Malfunctioning thyroid gland • Increased risk of uterine cancer
