TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Disorders of the Female Reproductive System A1 - Hall, Janet E. A2 - Jameson, J. Larry PY - 2017 T2 - Harrison's Endocrinology, 4e AB - The female reproductive system regulates the hormonal changes responsible for puberty and adult reproductive function. Normal reproductive function in women requires the dynamic integration of hormonal signals from the hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovary, resulting in repetitive cycles of follicle development, ovulation, and preparation of the endometrial lining of the uterus for implantation should conception occur. It is critical to understand pubertal development in normal girls (and boys) as a yardstick for identifying precocious and delayed puberty.
