Ovulation
Postovulatory phase
This stimulates ovarian follicles to develop and secrete estrogen and some progesterone
LH
FSH
Estrogen
Relaxin
Peak levels of LH and _____ cause the mature follicle to rupture and release its oocyte
FSH
Estrogen
Progesterone
Relaxin
The corpus luteum secretes estrogen, progesterone, and inhibin to inhibit the secretion of:
LH
GnRH
FSH
Estrogen
The endometrium thickens in response to:
Increased estrogen
Increased progesterone
Decreased inhibin
Decreased relaxin
During the menstrual phase, declining estrogen and progesterone levels stimulate the release of _____, causing spiral arterioles to constrict
Relaxin
Inhibin
Prostaglandins
Histamine
In the ovarian cycle, the menstrual and preovulatory phases are termed the _______ phase, because of the continued development of follicles
Follicular
Luteal
Preovulatory
Proliferative
The endometrium proliferates during
Menstruation
The preovulatory phase
Ovulation
The postovulatory phase
The menstrual cycle starts with the proliferative phase which is characterized by the shedding of the endometrial lining of the uterus.
True
False
The mature egg cell goes into the fallopian tube where it waits for a sperm cell. Thus, the fallopian tube serves as the site of fertilization.
True
False
