Sexual function of the female body

The main function of the reproductive system in women - this, of course, the reproductive function.

This important function is performed by the interaction of several organs, which are the female reproductive system. Provides that the interaction of hormonal regulation. By the way, this regulation is a major element in the implementation of the reproductive functions of the female body.

The function of the female reproductive system

The function of the pituitary gland

This gland is located in the brain. This is one of the highest parts of the human hormonal regulation in all internal systems and organs in the human body.

Iron the pituitary gland secretes hormones that help regulate other endocrine glands. We are talking about the sex glands, thyroid gland, adrenal glands. In addition, the function of the pituitary gland is the allocation of a number of hormones that regulate the work of the urinary system, genital organs, mammary gland, skeletal system.

The reproductive system is controlled multiple "main" hormones, which are secreted by the pituitary gland: LH, FSH, prolactin.

FSH is such a follicle-stimulating hormone. It acts on the process of maturing follicles. If there is insufficient or excessive concentration of this hormone, then in the body of a woman disrupted the process of maturing follicles. And this, in turn, can lead to infertility.

Luteinizing hormone

LH is luteinizing hormone. This hormone is involved in ovulation and during the formation of the yellow body. Milk hormone (prolactin) affects the secretion of milk during lactation. Prolactin can be attributed to the hormones rivals (antagonists) of FSH and LH. All because the increased concentration of prolactin in the female body causes a disturbance of the female ovaries. This, in turn, can also lead to infertility.

Functions of hormones

In addition, the functioning of the reproductive system regulate the hormones that are released in other endocrine glands: hormones deja-and deja adrenal, thyroid hormones - thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Dysfunction of these endocrine glands can lead to the disruption of the reproductive system and to infertility.
