Question:- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GRH) is a hormone from the hypothalamus responsible for the release of the tropic sexual hormones FSH and LH (whose peak induces ovulation) from the anterior pituitary that act on the ovary. Explain why it is advantageous to have the brain (rather than a typical negative feedback) control the dynamic secretion of GnRH over the 28-day period of the estrus cycle. Imagine when GnRH is produced.

Chronic sleep deprivation inhibited hypothalamic secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) in male rats. If these finding are extrapolated to humans, explain how decreased GnRH with sleep deprivation would affect gonadotropins and sperm development in men (explain how decreased GnRH with sleep deprivation would affect Follicular stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone, testosterone, and sperm development).
Unlike male gonadotropins, female gonadotropins are able to promote the development of a single optimal dominant follicle during most cycles with the release of a single gamete from an LH surge and then optimization of the uterine environment for implantation. To understand pathologies in this complex system, one must understand the ideal steps within the normal menstrual cycle. Which of the following statements best describes the role of FSH in menstruation? O FSH induces granulosa cell LH receptors within the dominant follicle. O FSH stimulates follicular growth only in the early preantral stage. ( ) FSH stimulates granulosa cell androgen production. O FSH increases its own receptor numbers on theca cells. O FSH induces theca cell aromatase.

GRAPHING DATA AND ANALYSIS: Instructions: 1. Plot the data points and then draw line graphs in a "connect-the-dots" fashion. 2. Do two different graphs. 3. Plot days (x-axis) and estrogen and progesterone (y-axis) on the first graph. 4. Plot days (x-axis) and FSH and LH (y-axis) on the second graph. Note: Make certain you key each graph, label the axes, and title your graphs. * You may use MS Excel to graph the data. * You may also use graphing paper.
