Chapter 20, Problem 41RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The range of days with the highest level of estradiol and progesterone secretion.
Introduction:
The monthly shedding of endometrium of the uterus in the primate females is termed as menstruation. The menstruation is governed by several endocrine hormones in the female body. The alteration in the level of related hormone leads to the shedding and development of the endometrium within the uterus.

- Sex hormone secretion is governed by a negative feedback loop to the hypothalamus and pituitary, similar to that for thyroid hormone or cortisol. Because of this, a veterinarian can use a blood test to find out whether a female dog has been neutered. Dogs who still have their ovaries have a lower blood level of luteinizing hormone (LH) than dogs who have been neutered. Explain why removing a dog’s ovaries would result in an elevated level of LH.arrow_forwardLevels of the Female Reproductive Hormones during the Menstrual Cycle Hormone Day 4 Day 14 Day 21 Estrogen (pg/mL) N/A >100 <60 Progesterone (ng/mL) N/A <1.5 >15 LH (mIU/mL) <7 >15 N/A FSH (mIU/mL) <13 >15 N/A Identify the hormones numbered in the graph above.
