Question 1

In the woman,which of the following hormones promotes the formation of progesterone?&#10;A) Follicle-stimulating hormone&#10;B) Luteinizing hormone&#10;C) Adrenal corticotropic hormone&#10;D) Antidiuretic hormone&#10;

Accepted Answer

The luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for promoting the production of progesterone in females. LH is produced by the anterior pituitary gland in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. Progesterone is produced by the ovaries and plays a critical role in preparing the uterus for pregnancy.

Question 2

Which of the following hormones initiates the cycle of events in the female ovary?&#10;A) Follicle-stimulating hormone&#10;B) Luteinizing hormone&#10;C) Adrenal corticotropic hormone&#10;D) Antidiuretic hormone&#10;

Accepted Answer

Follicle-stimulating hormone initiates the cycle of events in the female ovary by causing a follicle to develop and mature. This follicle then releases an egg during ovulation. Luteinizing hormone also plays a critical role in the menstrual cycle by causing the follicle to rupture and release the egg, but it does not initiate the cycle. Adrenal corticotropic hormone and antidiuretic hormone are not directly involved in the menstrual cycle.

Question 3

In the female menstrual cycle,at which of the following days does ovulation commonly occur?&#10;A) Day 3&#10;B) Day 7&#10;C) Day 14&#10;D) Day 21&#10;

Accepted Answer

Ovulation commonly occurs around Day 14 in a 28-day menstrual cycle. However, this can vary for each individual and can occur earlier or later in the cycle.

Question 4

Which of the following direct influences does the parasympathetic nervous system have in the female response to sexual stimulation?&#10;A) Increase lubrication inside the introitus&#10;B) Lower the systemic blood pressure&#10;C) Accelerate the speed of sexual response&#10;D) Prolong the sensation of climax&#10;

Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for increasing blood flow to the genital area, resulting in vaginal lubrication.

Question 5

In the male,which of the following is responsible for the formation of the hormones androgen and testosterone?&#10;A) Follicle-stimulating hormone&#10;B) Luteinizing hormone&#10;C) Adrenal corticotropic hormone&#10;D) Antidiuretic hormone&#10;

Question 6

The function of progesterone in the menstrual cycle is to&#10;A) stimulate the growth of the lining of the uterus.&#10;B) increase the amount of viscous mucus in the cervix.&#10;C) increase the flow of cervical mucus.&#10;D) reduce the thickness of the vaginal lining.&#10;

Question 7

If fertilization of an ovum does not occur during a menstrual cycle,which of the following structures responds to the increased levels of estrogen and progesterone?&#10;A) Hypothalamus&#10;B) Pituitary gland&#10;C) Ovary&#10;D) Corpus luteum&#10;

Accepted Answer

The answer of If fertilization of an ovum does not...

Question 8

Which of the following would not be an expected activity for which estrogen is responsible?&#10;A) Stimulating growth of the glandular surface of the endometrium&#10;B) Decreasing the amount and quality of cervical mucus&#10;C) Stimulating the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone&#10;D) Producing viscous cervical secretions&#10;

Accepted Answer

Estrogen is known for increasing the amount and improving the quality of cervical mucus, making it more favorable for sperm penetration and survival, not decreasing it.

Question 9

Which of the following is a primary function of testosterone in the man?&#10;A) Reduces sperm production&#10;B) Maintains secondary sexual characteristics&#10;C) Decreases mucus production&#10;D) Delays ejaculation&#10;

Accepted Answer

Testosterone is responsible for the development and maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics in men such as deepening of the voice, facial hair growth, and muscle mass.

Question 10

In the woman,which of the following hormones is responsible for initiating events in the ovary?&#10;A) Luteotropic hormone&#10;B) Luteinizing hormone&#10;C) Follicle-stimulating hormone&#10;D) Interstitial cell-stimulating hormone&#10;

Accepted Answer

The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is responsible for initiating events in the ovary in women. FSH stimulates the growth and development of follicles in the ovary, which contain immature oocytes (eggs). FSH also stimulates the production of estrogen by the follicles. As estrogen levels rise, it signals the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which triggers ovulation. Therefore, both FSH and LH play important roles in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and fertility in women.

Question 11

The sum of the genetic and hormonal influences that originate from members of a species to perpetuate themselves is known as which of the following?&#10;A) Metabolism&#10;B) Reduction&#10;C) Catabolism&#10;D) Reproduction&#10;

The answer of The sum of the genetic and hormonal...

Question 12

Which of the following is a systemic effect of testosterone?&#10;A) Slowed skeletal muscle growth&#10;B) Reduced rate of bone growth&#10;C) Excretion of potassium&#10;D) Excretion of sodium&#10;
