Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 3CT
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can include mood swings, fluid retention (edema), anxiety, backache and joint pain, food cravings, and other symptoms. PMS usually develops after ovulation and lasts until just before or just after menstruation begins. Although the precise cause of PMS is unknown, it seems clearly related to the cyclic production of ovarian hormones. After reviewing Figure 16.3, suggest which hormonal changes may trigger PMS.
Figure 16.3 Animated! Hormones govern the menstrual and ovarian cycles. A GnRH from the hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete FSH and LH. B FSH and LH stimulate a follicle to grow, an oocyte to mature, and the ovaries to secrete progesterone and estrogens that stimulate the endometrium to rebuild. C A midcycle LH surge triggers ovulation and the formation of a corpus luteum. D Progesterone and some estrogens released by the corpus luteum maintain the endometrium, but if no pregnancy occurs, they stop being released and the corpus luteum breaks down. (© Cengage Learning)

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
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.
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

- Which of the following statements accurately describes the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome? Question 28 options: a) Excessive androgens that affect follicular decline by suppressing apoptosis, enabling follicles, which normally disintegrate to survive b) A decrease in leptin levels that reduces the hypothalamic pulsatility of GnRH, which reduces the number of follicles that mature c) A disorder of the anterior pituitary that increases the release of FSH, which reduces the release of LH d) Testosterone that stimulates androgen secretion by the ovarian stroma and reduces SHBG indirectlyarrow_forwardChlamydia 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, respectivelyarrow_forwardIn menstruation, the functional layer is shed from the endometrium. Explain the hormonal and physical factors responsible for this shedding. (See Figure 25.19.)arrow_forward
- Unlike male gonadotropins, female gonadotropins are able to promote the development of a single optimal dominant follicle during most cycles with the release of a single gamete from an LH surge and then optimization of the uterine environment for implantation. To understand pathologies in this complex system, one must understand the ideal steps within the normal menstrual cycle. Which of the following statements best describes the role of FSH in menstruation? O FSH induces granulosa cell LH receptors within the dominant follicle. O FSH stimulates follicular growth only in the early preantral stage. ( ) FSH stimulates granulosa cell androgen production. O FSH increases its own receptor numbers on theca cells. O FSH induces theca cell aromatase.arrow_forwardIdentify three major factors opposing the calming action of progesterone on the uterus.arrow_forwardListed in the table below are the five major reproductive hormones that support ovulation in female mammals, including the giant panda. Describe the role of each hormone in this process and the approximate time during the ovarian cycle that it reaches peak levels.

Select one: O a. This inhibits the secretion of follicle stimulating hormaone by the anterior pituitary gland - preventing ovulation O b. It is know to mediate the haemodynamic changes that occur during pregnancy such as; increased cardiac output, increased renal flow, increased arterial compliance 0 с.
