NU664 Exam 2 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions
and CORRECT Answers | 2026
• The follicles produce . CORRECT ANSWER: estrogen
• estrogen causes the uterine lining to . CORRECT ANSWER: thicken
• LH is released from . CORRECT ANSWER: the pituitary gland
• LH surge . CORRECT ANSWER: pituitary releases a large amount of LH
• Luteal phase of the ovarian cycles begins . CORRECT ANSWER: on the day of
the LH surge - 24 hours before ovulation - days 15-28 of cycle
• Luteal phases causes . CORRECT ANSWER: rupture of the mature follicle and
release of egg
• ruptured follicles in the luteal phase lead to . CORRECT ANSWER: formation
of corpus luteum which grows and secretes estradiol and progesterone to prepare
the uterus for pregnancy
• Uterine cycle . CORRECT ANSWER: menstrual phase
• uterine cycle typical duration . CORRECT ANSWER: 3-5 days
• uterine cycle typical flow . CORRECT ANSWER: 10-80ml
,• Uterine cycle: proliferative phase . CORRECT ANSWER: depends on estrogen -
corresponds with follicular phase - causes endometrial lining to grow
• uterine cycle: secretory phase . CORRECT ANSWER: corresponds to luteal
phase of ovarian cycle - corpus luteum produces progesterone - endometrium is
receptive to implantation of blastocyst
• Excessive estrogen . CORRECT ANSWER: menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea,
fibrocystic breast changes, mucorrhea, edema/leg cramps, bloating, cyclic weight
gain, increased fibroid growth, withdrawal headache
• Insufficient estrogen . CORRECT ANSWER: amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea,
break through bleeding before day 10, irritability, atrophy of vagina, hot flases,

by age 15 w/ secondary sex charact.
- OR age 13 if no menses and no secondary sex characteristics
• primary amenorrhea: causes . CORRECT ANSWER: imperforate hymen,
gonadal dysgenesis, mullerian agenesis (MRKH syndrome)
, physiologic delay
endocrine disorders (PCOS, hyperprolactinemia, thyroid disorders)
weight loss/anorexia or excessive exercise
• primary amenorrhea: imperforate hymen sxs . CORRECT ANSWER:
amenorrhea, abdominal pain, back pain, urinary sxs, painful bowel movements,
difficult sex, never used a tampon
• primary amenorrhea: gonadal dysgenesis what is it? . CORRECT ANSWER:
abnormal sexual development where there is part of complete regression of the
gonads, fibrous gonads do not produce hormones
lacking all or part of one of the X chromosomes
• primary amenorrhea: gonadal dysgenesis dx . CORRECT ANSWER: probable -
FSH is high
confirmed - karyotype
• primary amenorrhea: gonadal dysgenesis (turner syndrome) SXS . CORRECT
ANSWER: short stature, normal external female characteristics OR ambiguous
genitalia, intra-abdominal tests, blind vaginal pouch, lack of secondary sex
characteristics
widely space nipples (shield chest), short webbed neck, absent pubic/axillary hair,
lack of breast development, vagina and uterus present
