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.

Select one: a. Only the inner cell mass cells in a blastocyst are pluripotent. b. The trophoblast has an important role in maintaining the pregnancy, as it prevents the endometrium from shedding. c. As hCG takes over maintaining the endometrium immediately after implantation, the corpus luteum degenerates into the corpus albican. d. All 16 cells in a morula are truly totipotent, meaning that they can become any cells in the human body.arrow_forward

The excretory and reproductive systems both use the urethra in males, whereas in females, there are separate tubes for the excretory and reproductive systems. d. The structures that produce gametes are exterior to the body in the male reproductive system, whereas the gametes are produced inside the body for females.arrow_forwardMenopause is the end of the menstrual cycle in the woman, occurring normally at about 50.
