Answer the following questions.
Answer Key
Answer the following questions.
1. Explain two reasons why a woman with low levels of LH would not be able to become
pregnant.
(1) LH acts on the ovary to cause ovulation to occur. (2) LH causes progesterone release to
facilitate potential fertilization of the egg and pregnancy. Progesterone is a key hormone for the
maintenance of pregnancy.
2. Would you expect a female to have testosterone in their bloodstream? Explain why or why
not.
(1) Yes. Both male and female bodies produce “all” the sex hormones. However, the ratios are
different.
(2) The adrenal glands are largely responsible for producing this “opposite” hormone that the
ovaries would not.
