You'll learn the functions of the ovaries and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, also known as the HPG axis. Then, we're going to break down the phases of the menstrual cycle, how a follicle develops, and how ovulation occurs.  Table of Contents: 0:00 Intro 1:30 Functions of Ovaries & Menstrual Cycle Overview 4:10 HPG Axis 5:30 Follicular Phase & How It's Coordinated 21:35 Ovulation 25:10 Luteal Phase Lecture Source: Widmaier, E.
