Across 6. Follicles which typically undergo atresia 7. Phase of the menstral cycle which secretion of the corpus luteum causes further development of the endometrium 8. Hormone which stimulates development of the ovarian follicles, estrogen secretion, ovulation, and the corpus luteum 9. Term for the growth and development of ovarian follicles 11. Hormone which stimulates the initial secretion of estrogen by follicles 13. Follicles which begin to develop after puberty 14. Follicles present in newborn females which are in a resting state 15. Occurs on day 14 of the ovarian cycle due to high levels of estrogen 16. Phase when meiosis II stops unless fertilization occurs 17. Gametogenesis in females 20. Hormone secreted by the corpus luteum to inhibit FSH and LH 22. Days 1-5 of the menstral cycle when blood and tissue from the endometrium are lost 23. Smaller cell formed from unequal division of cytoplasm at the end of meiosis 24. Phase when meiosis I of oocytes ceases during development to resume after puberty 25. Hormone secreted by the corpus luteum to aid in development of endometrium

Down 1. Hormone secreted by the corpus luteum to relax the uterus 2. Hormone which controls the female reproductive cycles 3. Reproductive cycle which consists of ovulation and death of follicles 4. Reproductive cycle which prepares the endometrium for implantation of egg 5. Days 6-13 of the menstral cycle which the endometrium starts to re-develop 9. Days 0-13 of the ovarian cycle 10. Permanent cessation of the menstral cycle, typically between the ages of 40-50 12. Follicles which increases in diameter as supporting cells proliferate, may ovulate on Day 14 18. Average number of days in the female reproductive cycle 19. Days 15-28 of the ovarian cycle which the corpus luteum secretes progesterone and estrogen 21. Hormones responsible for development and maintenance of secondary female sexual characteristics
