1. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

Explanation

FSH is a hormone that plays a crucial role in the development and maturation of ovarian follicles in females. It is responsible for stimulating the growth and development of these follicles, which contain the eggs. This process is essential for the reproductive function in women, as it prepares the follicles for ovulation and eventual fertilization. FSH is released by the anterior pituitary gland and acts on the ovaries to regulate the menstrual cycle and promote the production of estrogen. Therefore, the correct answer is that FSH stimulates ovarian follicle development.

Questions from pre-lab quiz and post-lab quiz about hormone replacement therapy.

2. Estrogen

Explanation

Estrogen is a hormone that is produced by developing ovarian follicles. It is not a peptide hormone or an anterior pituitary hormone secretion. Estrogen also does not inhibit bone growth, but rather promotes it. This hormone is important for the development and maintenance of female reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics.

3. Which of the following statements is true?

Explanation

After menopause, the ovaries stop secreting estrogen. Menopause is a natural biological process that occurs in women, typically between the ages of 45 and 55, marking the end of their reproductive years. As women age, their ovaries gradually produce less estrogen, leading to the cessation of ovulation and menstruation. This decrease in estrogen production can result in various symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be used to alleviate these symptoms by supplementing the declining estrogen levels.

4. Saline injections were used in this experiment to measure the effect of

Explanation

In this experiment, saline injections were used as a placebo to measure the effect on bone density. A placebo is a substance or treatment that has no therapeutic effect, but is given to participants in a study to compare the results with those who receive the actual treatment. By using saline injections as a placebo, the researchers can determine the true effect of the treatment being studied on bone density, without any confounding factors from the injection itself.

6. Calcitonin

Explanation

Calcitonin is a hormone that works against the development of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones, and calcitonin helps to prevent bone loss by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, which are cells that break down bone tissue. By inhibiting osteoclast activity, calcitonin helps to maintain bone density and strength, reducing the risk of fractures and the progression of osteoporosis.

7. As the rat's bone density increases

Explanation

As the rat's bone density increases, it means that the rat has stronger bones. A more-negative T-score indicates lower bone density and weaker bones, while a less-negative T-score indicates higher bone density and stronger bones. Therefore, if the rat's bone density increases, the X-ray scanning assay would report a less-negative T-score.
