The anterior pituitary releases FHS, which allows the egg to mature in the graafian follicle; estrogen from the maturing follicle causes vascularization of the uterine lining; the anterior pituitary releases LS to release the ovum into the fallopian tubes and into the uterus; corpus luteum (made up of the old graafian follicle) releases estrogen and progesterone. The corpus luteum disintegrates, causing a decrease in progesterone and the lining of the uterus is shed as menses.
