Question & Answer
Q25 Ovarian Cycle: Luteal Phase
A LH predominates during days 15-28, LH stimulates secretion of progesterone by the corpus luteum
Q26 description and hormones involved in ovarian cycle
A -estrogen -Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) -luteinizing hormone (LH) -progesteroneestrogen
-glycogen
Section 3: Ovulation, Estrogen, Hormone (Q27–Q39)
Question & Answer
Q27 ovulation takes place when
A 14 days before menstruation
Q28 Role of corpus luteum
A secrete-progesterone-interacts with endometrium to get ready for implantation -causes a slight rise
in body temp
Source of hormones until the end of the first trimester. After the first trimester, the corpus luteum
remains intact but it isn't really a source of hormones
Q29 follicular phase of ovarian cycle First -increase in estrogen -releases Follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH) -surge of Luteinizing hormone (LH) -pulsates -gonadotropin-releasing
hormone
A period of follicle growth (days 1-10 or 14days ) -initiator hypothalamus -Estrogen produced by
maturing follicular cells
Q30 ovulation phase -Surge of LH -drop in estrogen
A The second stage of the general menstrual cycle, when the ovum is released. -surge of LH -Day 14
in a 28 day cycle -Ovulation takes place 14 days before menstruation whether the cycle is 28 or
120
Q31 Luteal phase FSH/LH lowest level
A begins at ovulation and last until the mestrual phase of the next cycle - occurs on days 15 through
28 days of a causes cycle
Q32 menstruation then begins approximately 14 days after ovulation in absence of
A pregnancy
Q33 when ovulation occurs there is a drop in
A estrogen

Question & Answer
Q34 1-LH (luteinizing hormone)-rises and stimulates the
A follicle to produce estrogen
Q35 2-As estrogen is produced by the follicle, estrogen levels rise,
A inhibiting the output of LH-luteinizing Hormone
Q36 3-Ovulation occurs after an LH surge damages the estrogen-producing cells, resulting in
A a decline in estrogen
Q37 4-The LH surge results in establishment of the
A corpus lute, which produces estrogen and progesterone
Q38 5-Estrogen and progesterone levels rise,
A suppressing LH out put
Q39 6-Lack of LH promotes degeneration of the
A corpus luteum
Section 4: Amniotic, Decline, Hormones (Q40–Q52)
Question & Answer
Q40 7-Cesation of the corpus luteum means a decline in
A estrogen and progesterone output
Q41 8-the decline of the ovarian hormones ends their
A negative effect on the recreation of LH
Q42 9-LH is secreted, and the menstrual cycle
A begins again
Q43 Menstrual cycle hormones
A Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone
(LH) Estrogen Progesterone Prostaglandins
Q44 Calculation of the fertile period in a female
A The fertile period of a woman is determined by analyzing her menstrual cycle with an ovulation
calculator or fertility chart. Normally, the cycle is a 28 day cycle.
During the 14th day after a period, the ovum is released. This process is called ovulation and the
days 12 to 16 days after a period are said to be a womans most fertile period.
Q45 Amniotic fluid -volume
A Increases are 10 mL/week, and it increases to 50 to 60 mL/week at 19 to 25 weeks, at max at 34
