The human male and female sexual reproduction systems - hormone systems - menstrual cycle - pregnancy and importance of good health - controlling fertility - use of hormones - methods of contraception - IVF fertility treatments

Doc Brown's biology exam revision study notes

 This page will answer many questions e.g.

 What are hormones?  How does the menstrual cycle work?  How does In Vitro Fertilisation' (IVF) work?  How can hormones be used to control fertility?  What are FSH and LH hormones and what do they do?  Describe various methods of contraception and their effectiveness.
