4 body structures involved in the physiology of the menstrual cycle-pituitary gland, ovaries, uterus, (a)  

The gland that initiates the menstrual cycle - (a)  

When the level of estrogen rises, and its subsequent release is repressed, what cycle would not occur?

(a)  

1. The two [2[ gonadotripic hormones produced the by the anterior pituitary gland are LH and (a)  

Under the influence of hormone produced by hypothalamus, what particular lobe of pituitary gland produces the two [2] gonadotropins?

(a)  

The hormone that is active early in the cycle and is responsible for maturation of the ovum

(a)  

The hormone that becomes most active at the midpoint of the cycle and is responsible for the release of the mature egg cell from the ovary

(a)  

1. The process that involves the release of the mature egg cell from the ovary-

(a)  

1. FSH and LH are called gonadotropic hormones because they cause growth (trophy) in what female organ?

(a)  

1. Every month during the fertile period of a woman’s life (from menarche to menopause), one of the ovary’s primordial follicles is activated by what hormone in order to begin to grow and mature?

(a)  

As the primordial follicle grows, its cells produce a clear fluid that contains a high degree of mainly what hormone?

(a)  

The mature ovum is termed- (a)   follicle.

After the release of egg, the empty Graafian follicle will be filled by a yellow fluid which and will now be called- (a)  

The slight drop of basal body temperature just before the day of ovulation is caused by what kind of hormone?

(a)  

Basal body temperature increases by how many degrees Fahrenheit on the day of ovulation?

(a)   degree/s Fahrenheit

The increased level of basal body temperature remains until at what approximate day of the menstrual cycle?

(a)  

If conception occurs, corpus luteum would last up to approximately 16 to (a)   weeks in pregnancy.

If conception does not occur, the unfertilized ovum atrophies or regresses after (a)   or 5 days.

If conception does not occur, corpus luteum WILL LIVE only for 8 to (a)   days.

As the corpus luteum regresses, it is gradually replaced by white fibrous tissue, and the resulting structure is termed (a)   which means white body

Four [4[ terms used interchangeably to the first phase of the menstrual cycle are- (a)   , estrogenic, follicular, postmenstrual

The phase of menstrual cycle in which the endometrium begins to grow rapidly and increase its thickness eightfold due to the effect of estrogen produced by the ovary- (a)  

The phase of menstrual cycle in which the endometrial glands of the uterus become corkscrew or twisted in appearance and dilated with quantities of glycogen and mucin, with increased amount of capillaries in the endometrium-

(a)  

The third phase of menstrual cycle in which the corpus luteum in the ovary begins to regress after 8 to 10 days in the absence of fertilization-

(a)  

The third phase of menstrual cycle in which the corpus luteum in the ovary begins to regress after 8 to 10 days in the absence of fertilization-

(a)  

During third phase of menstrual cycle, the uterus begins to degenerate at approximately day no. 24 or day no. (a)   of the cycle.

Menstrual flow is composed of these four [4] components, namely: blood, mucin, endometrial tissue, and (a)  

The only external marker of the menstrual cycle is (a)  

What day of the menstrual phase is used to mark the beginning day of a new menstrual cycle? –

(a)  

The amount in ml of blood loss is approximately 30ml to (a)   ml

At the time of ovulation, when the (a)   hormone level is high, cervical mucus becomes thin and copious. –

Sperm penetration and survival become excellent at what time or occurrence during menstrual cycle?

(a)  

The hormone which causes cervical mucus to become thick which results to poor sperm survival is (a)  

When high levels of estrogen are present in the body, as they are just before ovulation, the cervical mucus forms what kind of pattern- (a)  

When the dominant hormone is estrogen, the characteristics of the cervical mucus become thin and (a)  

When the dominant hormone is progesterone, the characteristics of the cervical mucus become (a)   and viscous.

Painful menstruation is termed- (a)  

Abnormally heavy menstrual flows is termed -

(a)  

the cessation of menstrual cycles is termed- (a)
