What hormone stimulates the release of the follicle-stimulating hormone
(FSH) from both male and female glands?
A Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
B) Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)
C)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) D)Prolactin-releasing
hormone (PRH)
c
The male and female glands respond to luteinizing hormone (LH)
and FSH, which are released from the anterior pituitary in response
to stimulation from GnRH that is released from the hypothalamus.
GHRH stimulates the release of the growth hormone, which targets
cell growth. TRH stimulates the thyroidstimulating hormone, which
targets the thyroid gland. PRH stimulates the release of prolactin,
which is necessary for milk production.

A nurse is providing patient education to a patient as part of her work in
a fertility clinic. The nurse explains possible reasons for infertility.
When explaining how the ovaries are involved in conception, what will
the nurse stress?
A) Ova quickly degenerate and most are absorbed in the body before
the age of 12.
B) The ovaries at birth contain all of the ova that a woman will
have.
C) Ova aggregate, causing millions to be contained in a storage site
called a follicle. D)Follicles produce only estrogen; the uterus produces
progesterone.
b
It would be important to explain that the woman's ova do not
increase or decrease from birth to childbearing years. The nurse will
stress that all the ova that a woman will have will be present at
birth. The patient should understand that if she does not ovulate 1
month or for several months, it is not because she has done
something to her body to cause this. Ova slowly degenerate over a
lifetime or they are released once a month until menopause is
complete. Each ovum is contained in a storage site called a follicle,

which produces the female sex hormones, estrogen and
progesterone.
The nursing instructor is talking with her class of students about the
female reproductive system. A student is trying to understand the role of
progesterone in the body. What nonreproductive affect does
progesterone have on the body?
A) Decreased body temperature
B) Decreased appetite
C)Anti-insulin
D)Increased uterine motility
C
Feedback:
Progesterone has an anti-insulin effect to generate a higher blood
glucose concentration to allow for rapid diffusion of glucose to the
developing embryo. Body temperature and appetite are increased by
progesterone. Uterine motility is decreased to provide increased
chance that implantation can occur.

What hormone causes ovulation to occur?
A)Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
B)Luteinizing hormone (LH)
C) Prolactin
D) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
B
Feedback:
When the circulating estrogen level rises high enough, it stimulates a
massive release of LH from the anterior pituitary causing one of the
developing follicles to burst and release the ovum with its stored
hormones into the system. ACTH targets the adrenal corticosteroid
hormone, which helps prepare the body for the "fight or flight"
response. Prolactin is responsible for milk production and FSH in
combination with LH stimulate follicles on the outer surface of the
uterus to grow and develop and also stimulates the release of
estrogen and progesterone.

cramps. The girl is concerned about the pain and worried that
