Extract

The problem of the relation between gonad and the other endocrine glands has, during recent years, attracted much attention. It has been shown that the maturation of the ovary, which is responsible for the other manifestations of puberty, is itself dependent upon the developmental level of its somatic environment rather than upon its own age; that the senescent insufficiency of the ovary is due, not so much to its own inability to elaborate hormones and ova, as to a decrease in the amount of, or deterioration in the quality of, the extra-ovarian substances which are necessary for its proper functioning. Similar evidence has been produced in relation to the testis. It has been shown, further, that the pituitary is intimately concerned in the establishment and maintenance of the œstrous cycle, and also that the placenta exerts an influence upon the structure of the ovary.
