2. Which of the following organs is responsible for releasing gonadotropins?

Explanation

The pituitary gland is responsible for releasing gonadotropins. Gonadotropins are hormones that stimulate the function of the gonads, which include the ovaries in females and testes in males. The pituitary gland produces and releases hormones that regulate various functions in the body, including reproductive processes. In this case, it releases gonadotropins such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which play a crucial role in the development and function of the ovaries and testes.

4. After the first three months of pregnancy the chief source of estrogen and progesterone is the:

Explanation

During the first three months of pregnancy, the corpus luteum produces estrogen and progesterone, which are essential for maintaining the pregnancy. However, after this period, the placenta takes over as the chief source of these hormones. The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy and is responsible for providing oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. It also produces hormones that support the growth and development of the pregnancy, including estrogen and progesterone. Therefore, the correct answer is placenta.

5. Which two statements below are TRUE regarding the process of ovulation.
1) At birth, each ovary contains 400,000 underdeveloped ova
2) Before puberty, the primordial cells produce estrogen
3) Normally, only one ovum matures in each cycle
4) The formation of primordial cells continue until puberty

Explanation

At 28 weeks AOG there are approximately 6,000,000 growing follicles. This continues to decrease as fetus reaches maturation: Term 1 million follicles; menarche 400,000 follicles; at 40 years old 8,000 follicles.Estrogen is sectreted primarily by ovaries and adrenal cortex to produce the menstrual cycle.

6. At the beginning of menstruation, the following physiologic changes occur, EXCEPT?

Explanation

During menstruation, the ovum does not begin to mature in the graafian follicle, as this process occurs during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. Estrogen and progesterone are indeed at their lowest level during menstruation. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) has just begun to rise, as it is responsible for stimulating the growth of follicles in the ovaries. However, luteinizing hormone (LH) is not at its peak during menstruation. LH surge occurs later in the menstrual cycle, specifically during the ovulatory phase, to trigger ovulation.
