Which pituitary hormone might contribute to multiple births and why?
Which pituitary hormone might contribute to multiple births and why?
Luteinizing hormone stimulates ovulation. Ovulation of more than one egg cell per cycle can result in the formation of multiple embryos.
Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates follicle maturation allowing more than one egg cell to develop during one cycle.
Oxytocin promotes uterine contractions necessary to deliver multiple babies.
Prolactin stimulates milk production to support multiple births.
If the whole ectoderm is exposed to high levels of BMP activity, which of the following ectodermal derivatives will not probably form? (Check all that apply)
Nails
Cornea
Facial cartilage
Lens
Brain
Hair
Dentine of the tooth
Neural pituitary
Adrenal medulla
Retina
From the ectodermal epithelium of the lining of the upper part of the
intestinal fossa of the human embryo, a pocket of the Ratchet is formed,
which is directed to the basis of the future brain. What develops from this
embryonic germ?
O Medial eminence.
O anterior hypothalamus
ONeurohypophysis.
O Adenohypophysis
O pituitary stalk.

- A woman is in labor. The size of the fetus combined with the contractions of the uterine muscular layer stretches the uterine wall, stimulating stretch receptors in the cervix. Signals from these receptors are conducted through nerves to the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary. The hypothalamus/posterior pituitary releases oxytocin. The oxytocin travels through the blood and stimulates the smooth muscle layer of the uterus. Oxytocin has two effects on the uterine smooth muscle:1. Itdirectlystimulatesthesmoothmuscletocontractmorefrequentlyandmoreforcefully.2. Itcausestheuterinewalltoreleaseprostaglandins,whichincreasethefrequencyandforceofthe contractions even more.These effects push the fetus more forcefully into the cervix, stimulating the stretch receptors further. The receptors send additional impulses to the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary. The increased activation of the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary stimulates release of additional oxytocin, which further stimulates the uterus.…arrow_forwardNormally deterioration of the endometrium begins when: blood levels of FSH increase blood levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease blood levels of estrogen and progesterone increase the corpus luteum secretes estrogenarrow_forwardSome Stages of Embryonic Development Gastrulation Zygote Implantation Blastocyst The order in which the physiological stages occur during embryonic development is Answer, Answer, Answer, and Answer.arrow_forward
