Which 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.
Hormone replacement therapy was advertised first to women in the 1990s as a way of increasing their youthfulness. Hormone replacement therapy today is usually taking pills to increase someone's estrogen or testosterone supply. Pick either estrogen or testosterone.
For either one:
1) How does your chosen sex hormone work at the cellular and at the molecular level?
2) How do these hormones improve the reproductive system as a whole?
3) What are the benefits of doing hormone replacement therapy?
4) What are the harms of doing hormone replacement therapy?
5) Who would be an ideal candidate for hormone replacement therapy?
Mumps is a viral infection. The primary symptom of mumps is visible swelling of the parotid gland on either side of the face. However, the virus can also infiltrate the male reproductive system, causing the testes to atrophy. Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement).
Research treatment options for reduced sperm movement. Describe one option that can be used to aid successful fertilization and explain why it helps.
