In humans, fertilization usually occurs in the

Inhibition of luteinizing hormone secretion would inhibit testosterone synthesis

Progesterone is secreted primarily from the corpus luteum

The human female determines the sex of her offspring

Deletion of the SRY gene would cause male fetuses to develop as females

Dihydrotestosterone is produced by the action of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase on testosterone. 

The rate at which GnRH is secreted from the hypothalamus determines whether LH or FSH is secreted from the anterior pituitary

Inhibin prevents release of LH from the anterior pituitary

Sertoli cells are stimulated by __________, while Leydig cells are stimulated by ________. 

Secretion of LH is inhibited by 

A follicle that does not complete development as a graafian follicle will 

What is it called when a mature follicle ruptures and ejects the oocyte into the uterine tube? 

What hormone triggers ovulation? 

The ___________ phase of the endometrium is supported when the ovary is in the luteal phase. 

In the female menstrual cycle 

What is the major hormone produced during the luteal phase? 

The LH surge is caused by a ______ feedback effect of increased estradiol. 

High progesterone levels during the luteal phase 

The secretion of gonadotropins (FSH and LH) will ___________ during menopause. 

During which day of the female cycle are estrodiol levels higher and higher than progesterone levels?

Which cells of the female gonad are most responsive to FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)?

Anterior pituitary hormone which primarly regulates granulosa cells

Stimulates the theca cells

Stimulates the release of LH during the beginning of the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle

Causes the proliferative phase of the mesntrual cycle

Decrease uterine contractions

Hormone which specifically inhibits FSH release

In which part does fertilization occurs?

Which part is the cervix?

Which part is the myometrium?

Which part is the Granulosa cells?

female gonads, produce eggs much less and infrequent then males

flares at infundibulum, wall contains smooth muscle and cilia to move eggs along

receptacle for penis, squamous epithelial cells after puberty, distensible

thick smooth muscle chamber

•   Harbor and provide nutrition for developing fetus

•   Fundus (superior), Body , Cervix (inferior) – regions

bundles of smooth muscle fibers, produce labor contractions and expel fetus

Inner lining of uterus, epithelium

secrete androgens/estrogen

make estrogens from androgens, secretes inhibin

Pap smear are cells of the cervix are scraped and assayed for dysplasia

Which of the following is true about estrogen?

Which of the following is true about progesterone?

extends from menstruation to ovulation (days 1-14)

phase between 15-28 days.

Phase between 5-15 days.

1.Estrogens from follicle stimulate growth of blood vessels and muscle layer

2.Expression of progesterone receptors on endometrial cells increases

3.Increased thickness of uterine wall

Phase between 15-28 days, after ovulation.

1.Secretion of glycogen by endometrial glands due to progesterone stimulation

2.Increased thickness further

3.High nutrition if fertilization occurs

Phase between 1-5 days.

1.Discharge of menstrual fluid

2.Degeneration of endometrial lining due to loss of hormones from the corpus luteum

3.Ischemia (loss of blood vessels)

Prolactin injections may be used to induce labor
