Chapter 27, Problem 1CC

This graph plots the rise and fall of pituitary and ovarian hormones during the human ovarian cycle. Identify each hormone (A–D) and the reproductive events with which each one is associated (P–S). For A–D, choose from estrogen, LH, FSH, and progesterone. For P–S, choose from ovulation, growth of follicle, menstruation, and development of corpus luteum. How would the right-hand side of this graph be altered if pregnancy occurred? What other hormone is responsible for triggering this change?

Summary Introduction

To identify: The hormones A-D, the reproductive events with which each hormone is related, the way in which the right hand side of the graph will be altered if pregnancy occurs and the hormones that are responsible for triggering this change.

Introduction:

Menstrual cycle is a cycle that takes place in females. It is a cycle or a series of events in which there are hormonal changes in females in ovary and in the uterine wall. In this cycle there is formation of a mature egg in the ovary of females which due to hormonal influence undergoes a series of changes and if the fertilization of the egg takes place then there is formation of zygote and henceforth there is formation of a neonate.

Explanation of Solution

This graph is about the various phases of the menstrual cycle and the hormones related to them. In a menstrual cycle there are three phases. Here in the graph the first phase that is P shows menstruation or the menstrual phase which occurs from first to fifth day, the hormone related to this phase is labeled as A which is FSH. It is secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

Second phase is the follicular phase which is marked as Q. It starts from the first day and continues till 13th day, the hormone that is related to this phase is labeled as B which is estrogen. It is secreted by the granulose cells of ovarian follicle and by corpus luteum.

The third phase is the ovarian phase which is marked as R. It occurs at the fourteenth day, the hormone that is related to this phase is labeled as C which is LH. This hormone is secreted by the anterior lobe of pituitary gland.

And the last phase is the development of corpus luteum, which is marked as S. It occurs after the fifteenth day. The hormone that is related to it is progesterone which is marked as D. it is secreted by the corpus luteum which is the ruptured covering of the matured egg upon stimulation by the FSH hormone after ovulation.

Before pregnancy the cycle as mentioned in the diagram goes uninterrupted but after pregnancy with the secretion of the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone which is secreted by the placenta, the entire hormonal cycle changes.

With the secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone, with the onset of pregnancy the estrogen and the progesterone levels remain high and the other hormones levels becomes low.

Conclusion

The menstrual cycle in females is responsible for the production and the discharge of the egg formed by the ovaries in females.

Topic: Benthic invertebrates as an indicator species for climate change, mapping changes in ecosystems (Historical Analysis & GIS)  What objects or events has the team chosen to analyze? How does your team wish to delineate the domain or scale in which these objects or events operate? How does that limited domain facilitate a more feasible research project? What is your understanding of their relationships to other objects and events? Are you excluding other things from consideration which may influence the phenomena you seek to understand? Examples of such exclusions might include certain air-born pollutants; a general class of water bodies near Ottawa, or measurements recorded at other months of the year; interview participants from other organizations that are involved in the development of your central topic or issue.   In what ways do your research questions follow as the most appropriate and/or most practical questions (given the circumstances) to pursue to better understand…
The Esp gene encodes a protein that alters the structure of the insulin receptor on osteoblasts and interferes with the binding of insulin to the receptor. A researcher created a group of osteoblasts with an Esp mutation that prevented the production of a functional Esp product (mutant). The researcher then exposed the mutant strain and a normal strain that expresses Esp to glucose and compared the levels of insulin in the blood near the osteoblasts (Figure 2). Which of the following claims is most consistent with the data shown in Figure 2 ? A Esp expression is necessary to prevent the overproduction of insulin. B Esp protein does not regulate blood-s
