A. thinning the endometrium to prevent implantation B. inhibition of follicular development and suppression of ovulation C. progesterone inhibits the sperm from penetrating through the cervix and female upper tract by making the cervical mucus unfriendly D. stimulates the production of high testosterone levelsarrow_forwardBirth control pills are oral contraceptives taken by women to prevent pregnancies. The most effective forms of birth control pills contain estrogen and a small amount of progestin (a synthetic hormone that mimics the effects of progesterone). The role of estrogen in the birth control pill is to Select one: a. negatively feedback to the anterior pituitary to suppress the production of GnRH b. reduce the progesterone levels in the blood to limit the endometrium buildup c. suppress the shedding of endometrium, thus preventing menstruation d. prevent a rise in the FSH and LH levels, thereby preventing follicle maturationarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? a. LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estradiol and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. b. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. c. Both progesterone and estradiol are produced by the follicles. d. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estradiol but stimulated by high levels of estradiol.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements describes what occurs if the ovum is fertilized?

Low levels of progesterone result in menstruation.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statement correctly describe the role of androgen in the male reproductive system? Select one: A. LH stimulates the Sertoli cell to produce inhibin and to start spermatogenesis. B. Increased levels of inhibin released by the interstitial cells result in lower levels of FSH and testosterone. C. Increased levels of testosterone feedbacks negatively to the anterior pituitary and hypothalamus. D. GnRH is released by the anterior pituitary and stimulates the release of FSH and LH.arrow_forward

It is suppressed by increased levels of testosterone and inhibin. b. It stimulates the Sertoli cells to produce sperm. c. It increases the production of inhibin. d. It stimulates a primary follicle to develop.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes the role of androgens in the male reproductive system? Select one: a.
