    Overview

    Reproductive Hormone Unit Objectives: By the end of this unit, students
    will be able to…
    - Define and describe each of the following: a. Estrous Cycle b. Endocrine
    Gland c. Target Tissue d. Estrus e. Endocrine System
    - Summarize how a hormone “knows” which tissues and organs to activate.
    - Explain why two messenger systems are needed in the bodies of animals.
    - Identify, describe, and explain the function of GnRH, FSH, LH, Estradiol,

    - Identify GnRH, FSH, LH, Estradiol, Progesterone, and PGF2α based on when
    the reach their peak levels in the estrous cycle.
    - Explain the purpose, mechanism, and hormonal components of Lutalyse,
    Ovsynch, CIDR, and MGA.
    - Summarize and explain each of the following stages of the estrous cycle:
