Chapter 28, Problem 26CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of the hormones namely GnRH (Gonadotropin-releasing hormone), estrogen, FSH (follicular stimulating hormone), progesterone, LH (luteinizing hormone), and inhibin in the ovarian and the uterine cycles.
Introduction:
The ovarian cycle is of three-phase ovulation, follicular, as well as the luteal phase, whereas the uterine cycle consists of proliferative, menstruation, as well as secretory phase. The hormones GnRH, FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, and inhibin control these phases in one or other way.

Describe the function of each of the following hormones in the uterine and ovarian cycles: GnRH, FSH, LH, estrogens, progesterone, and inhibin.
1a) State the organ of origin of the following hormones and the function for: GnRH, FSH, LH, Estrogen, and Progesterone.
1b) The menstrual cycle contains both positive and negative feedback loops. Explain how. Please frame your answer using the “monitor -> control centre -> effector” scheme.
Hight levels of progesterone promote:a). Development of the follicle b). Re-growth of the endometrium and mensesc). Thickening, vascularization and glandularization of the endometrium d). Development of the corpus luteume). GnRH pulse frequency to peak

- Figure 43.15 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estradiol and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. Both progesterone and estradiol are produced by the follicles. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estradiol but stimulated by high levels of estradiol.arrow_forwardIf the ovum is not fertilized, the corpus luteum regresses, and the endometrium sloughs off to result in the first day of menstrual bleeding. The latter event would be duplicated, even if fertilization occurred, if receptors for which of the following hormones were occupied by an antagonist? A) Dehydroepiandrosterone B) Estradiol C ) Estriol D) Estrone E) Progesteronearrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT TRUE? A) Menopause is marked by elevated levels of gonadotropins. A spermatozoon can survive for more than five days in a female reproductive tract. C) The proliferative endometrial phase is promoted by progesterone. Synthetic estrogens act as contraceptives by preventing the ovarian luteal phase. The hormonal basis of stress-induced amenorrhea is due to the influence of the limbic system on GNRH secretion.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardDescribe the process of oogenesis Describe the hormonal control of oogenesis including the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (which in this case is the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis).
