To promote menstruation during the follicular stage C. To promote menstruation during the luteal stage D. To trigger the thickening of the endometrium in the follicular stage

Select the FALSE statement/s: A) The functional layer of the endometrium sloughs off when estrogen levels are at their lowest but progesterone levels at their highest. 1 OB) Every month, the 20 secondary follicles release 20 ova. OC) XX genotypic female exposed to high levels of androgen in utero will develop male-like exfernal genitalia OD) Both A and B OE) Both B and C

Which of the following statement is current about infertility?      a. stress is not one of the causes of infertility.   b. there are no obvious racial differences in infertility.   c. most infertility problems are caused by women's medical conditions.   d. for those experiencing infertility, the status of living without children is called "childless" rather than "childfree."

One of the roles of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in the female reproductive system is Select one: a. to trigger the thickening of the endometrium in the follicular stage b. to promote menstruation during the follicular stage c. to promote menstruation during the luteal stage d. to trigger the thickening of the endometrium in the luteal stage

Prostaglandins are found in the seminal fluid, and they can affect a female by stimulating Select one: a. the contraction of smooth muscle cells b. the maturation of follicles c. menstruation d. the release of mature follicles

Male accessory glands contribute to the ingredients of the ejaculate. Much of the ingredients are there to: nourish the sperm, to provide a fluid through which the sperm can swim, and to make the female reproductive tract more amenable to the presence of sperm. Which of the following are male accessory glands?    a. the bulbourethral glands   b. the bladder   c. the seminal glands (aka seminal vesicles)   d. the prostate gland

Which of the following undergoes the greatest change during the uterine cycle and which hormone is primarily responsible for this change, respectively? Select one: a. Fallopian tube and estrogen b. Endometrium and estrogen c. Ovary and FSH d. Cervix and progesterone

After learning about the reproductive systems, how would advise a couple with following concern: "If we do not want a baby for next two years, how can we calculate the safe sex period?" She shares that her cycle is regular but not standard 28 days long cycle (so the standard explanation form different sources won't work unless you think critically)! At what time of the female cycle is she most likely to prevent fertilization of her ovulated egg? Consider the fact that her cycle is not 28 days but longer or shorter (you pick). Do males have any time (in their cycle- if any) when their gametes would not be able to fertilize the egg? In other words when can intercourse lead to least chance of pregnancy? Feel free to check with your older friends, doctors, nurses, or anyone who you feel comfortable talking about this.

Birth control pills are oral contraceptives taken by women to prevent pregnancies. the most effective forms of birth control pills contain estrogen and a small amount of progestin ( a synthetic hormone that mimics the effect of progesterone). The role of estrogen in the birth control pills is to:  Select one: A. reduce the progesterone levels in the blood to limit the endometrium. B. negatively feedback to the anterior pituitary to suppress the production of GnRH. C. suppress the shedding of the endometrium, thus preventing mestruation. D. prevent the rise in the FSH and LH levels, thereby preventing follicle's maturation.

Progesterone: 1)  Is produced in adult testes and is responsible for genital development, beard growth, muscle development, and sexual drive 2)  Is produced by the placenta during pregnancy, with highest levels seen at conception and then steadily decreasing to non-detectable levels at term 3)  Is lowest is serum during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and highest during the follicular phase 4)  Parallels activity of the corpus luteum by rapidly increasing following ovulation and then abruptly falling to initial low concentrations prior to the onset of menstruation no references, just homework.
