NSG 3500 EXAM 200 QUESTIONS & CORRECT
ANSWERS LATEST 2025
male reproductive system
serves to produce sperm and introduce them into the female body
secretes hormones
protects and nourishes sperm
Male sex hormones are called
androgens
affects secondary sexual characteristics
Related to sperm number, size, and motility
Fertility
menarche
the first menstrual period
During ovulation, body temp will
rise
LH and FSH will increase during
ovulation
Estradiol and progesterone will be low during
ovulation
A sharp decrease in progesterone and temp will occur to precurse
menses
Increase in progesterone after luteal phase typically indicates
pregnancy
Estrogen peaks during
,ovulation
Menses will continue for about ______ decades
3 to 4
proliferative phase
The second phase of the uterine (endometrial) cycle, during which the
endometrium (shed off during menstration is rebuilt). This phase of the cycle is
under the control of estrogen, secreted from the follicle developing in the ovary
during this time period. The proliferative phase typically lasts from day 6 to day 14
of the menstrual cycle.
lining of uterus is 1-2mm thick
Circulating estrogen levels are low
How are endometrial glands affected during proliferative phase?
They become enlarged
secretory phase
The third phase of the uterin (endometrial) cycle, during which the rebuilt
endometrium is enhanced with glycogen and lipid stores. The secretory phase is
primarily under the controll of progestone and estrogen (secreted from the copus
luteum during this time period), adn typically lasts from day 15 to day 28 of the
menstrual cycle.
Can increase breast growth
Increased amounts of progesterone
During the secretory phase, the endometrium becomes highly vascular and suitable
for a
fertilized ovum
ischemic phase
Days 27-28 of the menstrual cycle. The corpus luteum degenerates into white scar
tissue (corpus albicans) and stops producing estradiol and progesterone. The
, endometrium sloughs off, and menstruation begins
Limited blood supply
Period begins
endometrium becomes pale and thin
Hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian cycle
low levels of estrogen, stimulates hypothalamus to release GnRH, causing the
anterior pituitary to release FSH and LH, which acts on the ovaries to develop and
mature the ovarian follicle, causing the uterine lining to thicken, producing a
dominant follicle, causing an LH surge, which starts ovulation, causing the corpus
leteum to produce progesterone, the uterine lining stabilizes, body temp rises, lasts
for 14 days, after 14 days if no pregnancy occurs the corpus luteum dies, body
temp drops, uterine lining becomes unstable, causing menstraution
follicular phase
Day 1 of the menstrual cycle
Last about 14 days
LH and FSH are dominant
FSH works more in the early phase and LH works more in the late phase
climacteric phase
Phase where women and men are transitioning from reproductive phase to
nonreproductive phase of life.
perimenopausal phase
the stage of menopause during which estrogen and progesterone levels are erratic,
menstrual cycles may be very irregular, and women begin to experience symptoms
such as hot flashes
Declining fertility
Irregular timing and amounts of bleeding
menopause
