ROLE

As reporters for Human Body Radio, we've been selected to cover the world-famous Human Body Olympics. In our next news report, your boss wants your team to speculate about which hormone might take the gold medal for the Puberty games, which include events like Voice Change, Growth Spurt and Menstruation. Each member on our team has a

group work

OBJECTIVE

• Manager or Facilitator: Manages the group by helping to ensure that the group stays on task, is focused, and that there is room for everyone in the conversation. (
• Recorder: Keeps a record of those who were in the group, and the roles that they play in the group. The recorder also records critical points from the small group’s discussion along with findings or answers. (Sol)
• Spokesperson or Presenter: Presents the group’s ideas to the rest of the class. The Spokesperson should rely on the recorder’s notes to guide their report. (Luli)
• Reflector or Strategy Analyst: Observes team dynamics and guides the consensus-building process (helps group members come to a common conclusion).
• Graphic Designer: Organizes the information in a creative and cute way that calles the atention and makes it clear.

2. What is a hormone?

Usually, scientists say that what gives us our personal characteristics, like our height, hair color, eye color, intelligence, ability of comprehending, etc. are inherited genes but actually, these traits are made by a chemical family named HORMONES. Hormones are important when you start to go through puberty, which is when you begin developing into an adult. During this time, you're loaded with hormones that tell your body that it's time to start changing.

4. Estradiol

+ Info

Estradiol is the primary female sex hormone, a type of estrogen; (the primary female sex hormone. Early in development, it helps an organism develop the features typical of a female. Later, it helps a female’s body prepare to mate and reproduce). It is produced throughout life in both males and females.

What is estradiol?

+ Info

Estradiol is produced in the ovaries, and it is secreted out of the cells into the blood.

How is estradiol released

We think that the hormone estradiol should win the gold medal because of its significant impact on the body's development during puberty, especially in females. It is responsible for the growth and development of critical physical and physiological features, including breast development, regulation of the menstrual cycle, and the development of the female reproductive system. Estradiol's role in shaping a person's sexual characteristics (like desire and comfort) is profound, making it a crucial hormone during puberty. We compared this hormone to the others, and we came to the conclusion that the hormone estradiol is the one which impacts most on the development of the body and puberty in various aspects.

Luteinising hormone, is a gonadotropic hormone produced and released by cells in the anterior pituitary gland. It is crucial in regulating the function of the testes in men and ovaries in women. It is a chemical in your body that triggers important processes in your reproductive system. In womens, LH spurs ovulation and helps with the hormone production needed to support pregnancy. In men, luteinising hormone stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, which acts locally to support sperm production.

Luteinizing hormone

The progesterone is a female sex hormone and they are mainly produced by the ovaries. The main function of progesterone is to prepare the endometrium (lining of your uterus) for a fertilized egg to implant and grow. If a pregnancy doesn't occur, the endometrium sheds during your menstrual period. If conception occurs, progesterone increases to support the pregnancy. It regulates the development of and function of the uterus.

Progesterone

Testosterone is produced when signals sent from the brain to the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland then relays signals to the testes to produce testosterone. A "feedback loop" closely regulates the amount of hormone in the blood. Newly produced testosterone is sent from the testes to the bloodstream and carried to where it is needed. Some will become inert when it attaches to various proteins, whilst a small amount will freely travel to areas of the body where masculine characteristics develop. In men, it's thought to regulate sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, and the production of red blood cells and sperm. Testosterone is a sex hormone that plays important roles in the body.

Testosterone

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone that plays a significant role in sexual development and reproduction by affecting the function of the ovaries and testes. It works alongside luteinizing hormones. In women, FSH helps control the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs in the ovaries. FSH levels in women change throughout the menstrual cycle, with the highest levels happening just before an egg is released by the ovary. This is known as ovulation. In men, FSH helps control the production of sperm. Normally, FSH levels in men do not change very much. In children, FSH levels are usually low until puberty, when levels begin to rise. In girls, it helps signal the ovaries to make estrogen. In boys, it helps signal the testes to make testosterone.

Follicle-stimulating hormone

In females, estradiol promotes the growth of feminine traits (such as breasts and padded hips) and prepares the body from puberty to menopause to release eggs and nurture a developing fetus through birth. Estradiol impacts female sexual functioning by acting on the central nervous system to increase sexual desire. Having higher estrogen levels in the body increases vaginal lubrication, increases sexual desire, and improves the comfort of vaginal penetration.In males, this hormone is essential for modulating libido (healthy sex drive), erectile function, and spermatogenesis. It causes men to have fewer erections and a decrease in ejaculation.

Estradiol, a type of estrogen, is a hormone primarily produced and released by the ovaries in females. Its release is regulated by a complex feedback system involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and the ovaries. Here's how estradiol is released: 1 - Hypothalamus: The process begins in the hypothalamus, a region of the brain. The hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in a pulsatile fashion. GnRH acts as a signal to the pituitary gland. 2 - Pituitary Gland: In response to GnRH, the pituitary gland releases two hormones: luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). These hormones are released into the bloodstream and travel to the ovaries. 3 - Ovaries: LH and FSH stimulate the ovarian follicles, which are tiny sacs in the ovaries that contain immature eggs. In the ovarian follicles, estradiol is produced by the granulosa cells, which line the follicles. The granulosa cells convert androgens (male hormones) into estradiol under the influence of FSH. 4 - Estradiol Release: Estradiol is released into the bloodstream by the granulosa cells in the ovaries. Its release is not continuous but occurs in a cyclical pattern during the menstrual cycle. Estradiol levels typically increase during the follicular phase (the first half) of the menstrual cycle, leading to the development of the uterine lining and the maturation of an egg.
