The increased release of progesterone by the corpus luteum inhibits (decreases) the release of FSH and LH. Based on your knowledge of the menstrual cycle, what will be the effect of this feedback loop?
Why is it important to study or learn about the menstrual cycle?
What does the graph show about estrogen and progesterone before and after ovulation? Please choose from one choice below.
Before ovulation: Progesterone level is higher than estrogen; After ovulation: Estrogen level is higher than progesterone
Before ovulation: Estrogen level is lower than progesterone; After ovulation: Progesterone level is higher than estrogen

- Figure 18.17 Which of the following statements about hormone regulation of the female reproductive cycle is false? a. LH and FSH are produced in the pituitary, and estrogen and progesterone are produced in the ovaries. b. Estradiol and progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum cause the endometrium to thicken. c. Both progesterone and estrogen are produced by the follicles. d. Secretion of GnRH by the hypothalamus is inhibited by low levels of estrogen but stimulated by high levels of estrogen.arrow_forwardFigure 43.17 Which of the following statements about the menstrual cycle is false? Progesterone levels rise during the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle and the secretory phase of the uterine cycle. Menstruation occurs just after LH and FSH levels peak. Menstruation occurs after progesterone levels drop. Estrogen levels rise before ovulation, while progesterone levels rise after.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the result of sympathetic activation during the male sexual response?

This is because there are many risks and side effects. Which of the following statements is NOT a reason for using a progestin-only oral contraceptive? Select one: A. progesterone maintains the corpus luteum as corpus luteum release a large amount of progesterone and estrogen. B. progesterone suppresses the maturation of follicles, thereby preventing ovulation of a mature ovum. C. progestin-only oral contraceptives prevent the production of FSH and LH in the anterior pituitary. D. progesterone suppresses the production of GnRH in the hypothalamus.arrow_forward
- Some couple practice natural family planning (also known as the rhythm method of birth control), which involves abstaining from sexual intercourse during the time that a woman can become pregnant in her menstrual cycle. The egg only survives in the fallopian tube from 24 hours after ovulation, so conception can only happen during a 24-hour period each month. However, this form of contraceptive is very unreliable and is not recommended for couples who are actively trying to avoid pregnancy. Which of the following is NOT a reason why this form of birth control is unreliable? A. Sperm can survive in the fallopian tubes for 3 to 5 days. B. Ovulation can be affected by stress or illness. C. Women always ovulate on the same day of their menstrual cycle every month. D. It is difficult to predict exactly when in her cycle a woman ovulates.arrow_forwardA couple would like to conceive a child.
