Learning endocrine physiology of the female reproductive system through memes
Technology is an integral part of the learning process of the new generation of students. The use of digital tools in education increases engagement and information retention by the students and also creates a pleasant learning environment. Memes are technological tools widely used in social media that can be used in classrooms to make concepts more visual and humorous. Learning endocrine physiology at university can be challenging, especially the endocrine physiology of the female reproductive system, which involves cyclic changes of female sex hormones and gonadotropic hormones and complex regulation through feedback loops. Thus we propose using memes as an educational tool for teaching female gonad physiology. In the paper, we provide memes to aid the understanding and stimulate the discussion of every aspect of the endocrine physiology of the female reproductive system.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> Learning the endocrine physiology of the female reproductive system can be challenging. In this paper, memes are used as educational tools for teaching the subject! Memes are fun tools that increase engagement and provide a pleasant learning environment. So, are you ready to learn?
