Physiology & Medicine / Do alternate ovaries ovulate (release an egg) on alternate months?
« on: 10/10/2002 12:07:48 »
The ovarian cycle is controlled by the hypothalmic pulsing of GnRH and subequent release of FSH/LH. The effects of these pituitary hormones on the ovaries is well established. Given the release of these hormones into the general circulation and subsequent exposure to both ovaries, what is the cause for ovulation to switch, or at least potentially switch, between ovaries from month to month? Do both ovaries undergo an ovarian cycle each month?
