2. Name each of the growing follicle structures on the surface of this ovary. For each follicle you named, indicate the principal hormone that the follicle will produce at that stage.

L23. Act. 4– Draw arrows on the diagrams below to trace the journey of sperm from the site of spermatogenesis in the testes to the point of fertilization in the female reproductive tract. List the organs and structures that the sperm travels through below the diagrams. List the organs the sperm travels through from the testes until it leaves the male reproductive tract.

Hypothalamus |(-) Anterior Pituitary (-) (-) 2 13 Follicle Corpus Luteum Estrogen (+) (+) Match four of the hormones of the negative feedback numbered above with their function given below. Function: Hormone: Stimulates the development of an ovum Stimulates the corpus luteum to release progesterone Suppresses GnRH, FSH, and LH production in the follicular phase Suppresses GnRH, FSH, and LH production in the luteal phase

1) The two hormones produced by the ovaries that help regulate the female reproductive cycle are ____?_______ and _____?______

One role of the acrosomal reaction is: O Fusing the sperm membrane with the oocyte membrane O Degradation of the zona pellucida O Avoid polyspermy O Compaction of sperm DNA O Hypermotility of sperm

Hypothalamus Anterior pituitary Decreased negative feedback inhibition and (Day 1] (Day 28] Ovaries Corpus luteum regresses Increased sensitivity of follicles to Ovaries Growth of follicles Anterior pituitary Positive feedback Anterior pituitary Hypothalamus surge Negative feedback Ovaries Empty follicle becomes a Ovulation [Day 14] corpus luteum

Name the hormones produced by follicle cells of the ovarian follicle and the corpus luteum.

1. A mature follicle releases an ovum in response to a surge inA) follicle-stimulating hormone.B) luteinizing hormone.C) estrogen.D) progesterone.

1The gonadotropins are hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland and affect both male and female reproductive cycles; they are, ___?____and ____?___.

7) The following events occur during proestrus (PE).   Select all that apply:  a) The early Graafian follicle matures and becomes ready to ovulate. b) Peak levels of E2 signal the readiness of the follicle leading to the release LH. c) LH stimulates the release of progesterone from the corpus luteum. d) Progesterone from the corpus luteum causes behavioral estrus. e) The LH surge causes ovulation.
