Reproductive System, Part 1 - Female Reproductive System: Crash Course Anatomy & Physiology #40

Human reproduction is complicated and important, and it’s going to take a four-part series for us to cover it. Today, we’re kicking that off with the female reproductive system, starting with how sex hormones affect oogenesis and ovulation, continuing through how the ovarian and menstrual cycles mature and release oocytes, and creating a comfy uterine environment for a fertilized egg. Pssst... we made flashcards to help you review the content in this episode! Find them on the free Crash Course App!
