Question
Chapter 28.4, Problem 1AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The ways in which the female sexual response varies from the male’s sexual response in the excitement phase; vasocongestion of the labia, clitoris, and breasts; lubrication source of the vagina and vulva; changes in the vagina and uterus anatomy during sexual arousal.
Introduction:
The female sexual response and the anatomical changes that happen at the time of coitus can be seen in four stages: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. The vascular regulation and neurological regulation of female sexual response are fundamentally similar to those observed in males.

- 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_forwardSpermatogenesis is cyclic and exhibits spermatogenic wave inside the seminiferous tubules. Which of the following factor contribute to the spermatogenic cycle/wave? Retinoic acid signaling in the testis. AR levels in Sertoli cells. Activin and inhibin levels within the seminiferous tubule. Androgen receptor (AR) levels in Leydig and peritubular cells. Testosterone levels in the lumen of the seminiferous tubules.arrow_forwardWhich phase of the sexual response cycle is characterized by increasing arousal and engorgement of the genitalia with blood?

- True or False The glans penis and the clitoris are always covered by a prepuce. The ovaries and the uterus are the primary female sex organs. Ejaculation is the discharge of semen from the erect penis. The labia minora of the female genitalia are homologous to the body of the penis Meiosis is unique to the gonads. Sympathetic stimulation of the arteries within the penis causes engorgement of the erectile tissue as arterial flow increases and venous drainage decreases. Mammary glands are modified sudoriferous glands. Prolactin causes the breasts to enlarge and the mammary glands to mature during puberty. Secretions from the vestibular glands moisten and lubricate the vaginal orifice during sexual arousal. 20. The secretory phase of menstruation is from the time of ovulation until the start of the menstrual phase.arrow_forwardWhich of these is inconsistent with the erection of the penis?
