List four events that are triggered by the surge of LH at the midpoint of the menstrual cycle.
Figure 43.15 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estradiol and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. Both progesterone and estradiol are produced by the follicles. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estradiol but stimulated by high levels of estradiol.
Which of these factors reduces the release of GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus? a) Increase in testosterone b) Reduction of FSH c) Reduction of inhibin d) Reduction of LH
Which of the following would most likely reduce levels of active estrogen to potentially modulate cancer risk? a) Increased alcohol consumption b) Increased dietary folate c) Decreased levels of sex-hormone-binding globulin d) Increased phytoestrogen intakes
What is the purpose of androgen binding protein by Sertoli cells of the testes? a. Potentiates the actions of testosterone at target cells b. Prevents testosterone from diffusing out the testes c. Regulates level of testosterone via negative feedback control at the level of the anterior pituitary d. To stimulate testosterone production
Which of the following statements correctly describes the effects of increased testosterone? a. Increased levels of testosterone result in increased sperm production b. Increased levels of testosterone decreases the release of FSH and LH c. Increased levels of testosterone stimulates the release of GnRH d. Increased levels of testosterone stimulates the release of FSH and LH.
Which of these is not true about the physiologic effects of estrogen? Group of answer choices Raising of uterine threshold to contractile stimuli Stimulation of prolactin secretion Blocking the action of prolactin on the breast Decreasing LDL cholesterol Anti-osteoporosis
In positive mechanism, which of the following will happen if there is an increase production of estrogen in day 12 to 14 of the menstrual cycle? a/The level of released hormones cannot be determined b.There is a decrease release of estrogen in the ovaries c.There is an increase release of estrogen in the ovaries d.There is constant level of estrogen in the ovarie
