Regulation of the ovulatory cycle involves the interdependence of the adenohypophysis, the ovaries, the CNS, and the external environment. Several distinctions in brain functions and the overlapping control of several neuro-endocrine systems are pointed out. Important neuro-anatomical relationships between basomedial hypothalamus and other brain regions are noted. The anatomical structure is correlated with the control of gonadotropin secretion. Reflexive ovulation is considered as a special instance of external environmental influence. Data suggests that both lower mammals and human primates may show reflexive as well as spontaneous ovulation.
排卵周期的调节涉及腺垂体、卵巢、中枢神经系统和外部环境之间的相互依存关系。文中指出了脑功能的若干差异以及几种神经内分泌系统的重叠控制。注意到下丘脑基底内侧与其他脑区之间重要的神经解剖学关系。解剖结构与促性腺激素分泌的控制相关。反射性排卵被视为外部环境影响的一个特殊实例。数据表明，低等哺乳动物和人类灵长类动物可能既表现出反射性排卵，也表现出自发性排卵。
