Question
Chapter 35, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The contradictory role of estrogen in the female reproductive system of humans.
Concept introduction:
The functioning of the female reproductive system is under the regulation of many hormones such as FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), estrogen and progesterone. The estrogen plays key roles in the reproductive cycle.

- 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_forwardFigure 18.17 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? a.
