Based on the schematic below, illustrating the control of the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland by the ovarian hormones, how would you design a hormonal female contraceptive that keeps secretion of FSH and LH low in order to prevent ovulation?
Please can you explain leptin and how it works at the cellular level? Where is it stored? Can too much leptin affect a pregnancy in any way?
Why do we consider a growing child to be alive, but not a growing crystal? Is abortion the taking of a human life? If so, what about a contraceptive foam that kills only sperm?

- Female Reproductive System Menstruation is triggered by: O a decrease of estrogen and progesterone O a rise in FSH an increase of estrogen and progesterone O a spike in LHarrow_forwardYou are completing a summer scholarship in a research laboratory that is looking at developing a new type of contraceptive in people with ovaries. Unfortunately, the previous summer scholarship student wasn’t as competent as you and accidentally mixed up the histological slides of an ovary from a 6-year-old girl and a 25-year-old woman. The lead researcher has asked you to separate and correctly label the slides. Thinking about folliculogenesis throughout the lifetime of a person with ovaries, what microscopic feature(s) (other than size) can you use to distinguish the ovaries of a 6-year-old girl and a 25-year-old woman and why?arrow_forwardFigure 18.17 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 estrogen 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 estrogen are produced by the follicles. d. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estrogen but stimulated by high levels of estrogen.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardOne of your best friends tells you that she and her husband think she might be pregnant. She feels she can wait until shes several months along before finding an obstetrician.

What kinds of health issues might you be concerned about?arrow_forwardHow Is Sex Determined? The absence of a Y chromosome in an early embryo causes the: a. embryonic testis to become an ovary b.

- Should fertility clinics be required to disclose all the risks of ART to couples seeking fertility treatments? Are state and/or federal laws the best way to achieve this?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true regarding LH signaling in men? O Stimulates leydig cells to produce testosterone O Stimulates the sertoli cells to increase spermatogenesis O Stimulates the leydig cells to produce inhibin OStimulates the granulosa cells to increase spermatogenesis Stimulates the theca cells to produce testosteronearrow_forwardAlthough the most effective form of an oral contraceptive for woman contain estrogen and progestin, some birth control pills contain a small dose of progestin-only. This is because there are many risks and side effects. Which of the following statements is NOT a reason for using a progestin-only oral contraceptive? Select one: A. progesterone maintains the corpus luteum as corpus luteum release a large amount of progesterone and estrogen. B. progesterone suppresses the maturation of follicles, thereby preventing ovulation of a mature ovum. C. progestin-only oral contraceptives prevent the production of FSH and LH in the anterior pituitary. D. progesterone suppresses the production of GnRH in the hypothalamus.arrow_forward
