10-17. FEMALE SEX HORMONES

In the female, the ovaries produce two types of sex hormones during the menstrual cycle. During the first half of the cycle (days 1 - 14), the estrogens are produced. During the last half of the cycle (days 15 - 28), progesterone is produced. These hormones are concerned with female sexuality and with the preparation of female sex organs for reproduction.
