Detailed explanation-1: -Estrogen and progesterone are the sex hormones in females. Estrogen is responsible for the development of secondary sexual characters in females and progesterone is required to maintain pregnancy and delivery.
Detailed explanation-2: -Estrogens are a group of steroid hormones that regulate reproductive function and secondary sex characteristics in the female, including breast development.
Detailed explanation-3: -Along with progesterone, estrogen plays a key role in your reproductive health. The development of secondary sex characteristics (breasts, hips, etc.), menstruation, pregnancy and menopause are all possible, in part, because of estrogen.
Detailed explanation-4: -Early in puberty, hypothalamic GnRH release becomes less sensitive to inhibition by estrogen and progesterone. The resulting increased release of GnRH promotes LH and FSH secretion, which stimulates production of sex hormones, primarily estrogen. Estrogen stimulates development of secondary sexual characteristics.
Detailed explanation-5: -Progesterone and estrogen promote secondary sex characteristics in males. increases the existing blood supply in the endometrium. The cyclic production of estrogens and progesterone by the ovaries is, in turn, regulated by the anterior pituitary gonadotropic hormones, FSH and LH.
