Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the main steroid hormones involved in the female reproductive system: Estrogen and Progesterone.
Understand the role of Estrogen: It is primarily responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics and the regulation of the menstrual cycle, particularly the follicular phase.
Understand the role of Progesterone: It is crucial for regulating the menstrual cycle, particularly the luteal phase, and preparing the uterus for pregnancy after ovulation.
Recognize that Testosterone is primarily a male hormone, though it is present in females in smaller amounts, and does not regulate the menstrual cycle.
Recognize that Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone involved in stress response and metabolism, not in the regulation of the menstrual cycle.
