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.
Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. If not treated, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epididymitis in men. PID can cause scar tissues in the structure responsible for transporting the fertilized egg and in the tissue that is maintained by progesterone during a menstrual cycle, leading to infertility. In the diagram above, the structures associated with PID for the effects described above are numbered Select one: a. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 3, which is the endometrium, respectively b. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 4, which is the endometrium, respectively c. 4, which is the uterus, and 6, which is the cervix, respectively d. 3, which is the uterus, and 7, which is the cervix, respectively
A 26-year-old female complained of severe, dull, aching pain, and cramping in the lower abdomen. There were no other physical findings. A laparoscopy revealed the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue on the uterine wall and ovaries. Danazol (a synthetic androgen and inhibitor of gonadotropins), 600 mg/day, was prescribed for up to nine months to inhibit ovulation, suppress the growth of the abnormal endometrial tissue, and achieve appreciable symptomatic relief, with a 30% possibility of conception after withdrawal of the therapy.

Teratomas in the pituitary glands are very rare tumours that occur in children and young adults. Usual symptoms of teratoma are diabetes insipidus, neurological issues, and a reduction in pituitary hormones.Which of the following correctly describes the symptoms of a 10-year-old girl with a teratoma tumour in the pituitary gland? Select one: a. Increased levels of ADH and stimulation of the development of secondary sexual characteristics b. Decreased levels of ADH and inhibition of the development of secondary sexual characteristics c. Decreased levels of FSH and stimulation of the development of secondary sexual characteristics d. Increased levels of FSH and inhibition of the development of secondary sexual characteristics
Which of the following statements is true? Women with endometriosis always have symptoms of the disease, even if they are only mild symptoms. Patients under 25 years of age with endometriosis are often treated with surgical hysterectomy. In endometriosis, endometrial tissue only grows on reproductive organs and cannot affect other structures in the pelvic or abdominal cavity. About 1/3 of women with endometriosis struggle with infertility.
For each hormone, select whether the hormone is increasing or decreasing at the beginning of parturition. In addition, select the correct effect that the change in hormone secretion causes.
