Clomiphene Citrate is a fertility drug that stimulates hypothalamic secretion of Gonadotropin releasing Hormone (GnRH) in females and induces ovulation. Explain how increased GnRH with Clomiphene Citrate treatment would affect follicle maturation and ovulation in women (explain how increased GnRH would affect FSH, LH, Estrogen, and ovulation).
In menstruation, the functional layer is shed from the endometrium. Explain the hormonal and physical factors responsible for this shedding. (See Figure 25.19.)
Discuss the critical effects of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy.

- According to the graph below, estrogen will reach its peak concentration prior to ovulation. Predict the concentration of the other hormones by choosing low, medium, or higharrow_forwardConditions that cause the fallopian tubes to be narrower than normal may result in: Implantation of a fertilized ovum within the tube. More rapid propulsion of the ovum through the tube. Increased likelihood of pregnancy during each cycle. Excessive cramping and bleeding during menstruation .arrow_forwardHypogonadism is a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. The symptoms of hypogonadism include infertility and a decrease in secondary sex characteristics. There are two types of hypogonadism. Primary hypogonadism is caused by problems stemming from the testicles, and secondary hypogonadism is caused by problems stemming from the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland. Individuals with hypogonadism are often treated with testosterone replacement therapy. What would be the result of testosterone injections in individuals with hypogonadism? Select one: a. GnRH LH Testosterone Decrease Decrease Increase b. GnRH LH Testosterone Decrease Decrease Decrease c. GnRH LH Testosterone Increase Increase Increase d.

- Listed 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. Hormone Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) Estrogen Luteinizing hormone (LH) Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) Progesterone Role in Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle Timing of Peak Levelarrow_forwardUnlike 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_forwardDescribe the most significant hormones responsible for sex differentiation. List the most important hormones during puberty. Describe the significance of hormonal regulation during pregnancy and present the changes in hormonal balance during menopause.arrow_forward
