Women Health Quizzes Online & Trivia

(A) 18 to 20 inches long At 9 month's gestation, an unborn baby is typically between 18 and 20 inches long, though this can vary widely from one child to another. At this point, the average weight of a baby is usually between 6 and 8 pounds. Babies at this point in gestation are fully developed and ready for life outside the womb. Their lungs are ready and able to breathe oxygen, and they even practice sucking on their hands in the womb, in preparation for nursing after birth. Babies who are much larger than average often need to be delivered via C-section, as some smaller mothers may not be physically capable of delivering a very large child. If a baby is still in the womb after 40 weeks, some doctors or mothers will choose to induce labor, as the baby is physically capable of surviving outside the womb.

The correct answer to this question is D, or to maintain a patent airway. This simply means that there is a pathway between the outside world and the patient’s lungs. When a pregnant woman with eclampsia starts to have a seizure in the hospital, the proper course of action is first to worry about making sure she has enough air. This is two lives that are in danger, and every nurse will be fully aware of this. By making sure the woman having the seizure has enough air, they are also making sure the baby will survive. I’m not sure which would be more important to the nurses - the baby’s life or the mother’s - but making sure the mother has air will save both lives.

During human ovulation, estrogen levels peak. This causes an increase in levels of LH (luteinizing hormone) as well as FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone). This makes the answer to the above question both A and F. This period of increased hormones lasts from 24 to 36 hours. During this period, the unfertilized egg is moved towards the ovaries while simultaneously undergoing many changes itself. However, after ovulation has been completed, if the egg remains unfertilized, the menstrual cycle will begin and the levels of estrogen, LH, and FSH will drop significantly. These changes in hormones are an important part of the human reproductive cycle and help to signal to the female body that it is physically ready to reproduce, which is an important part of puberty.

During the luteal phase of menstruation, low levels of LH cause the corpus luteum to release estrogens and progesterone. The release of progesterone during this phase helps to make the endometrium receptive to implantation of the fertilized egg, should pregnancy occur. These hormones also cause production of FSH and LH to be suppressed. Because the corpus luteum needs both FSH and LH to maintain itself, the continuing low levels cause the corpus luteum to eventually atrophy and die. When this happens, levels of progesterone and estrogens begin to drop once again. The luteal phase lasts between ten and sixteen days in humans, with most women experiencing the phase for fourteen days. While luteal phase length differs between women, it is fairly consistent in each woman from one cycle to the next.

The menses phase is the phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle that is most commonly referred to as the period. The phase is triggered by declining levels of estrogen and progesterone at the end of the previous menstrual cycle. The decline in these hormones cause the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, to shed as menstrual flow. This flow consists of blood, mucus, and tissue. A woman’s menses phase typically lasts between 3 and 7 days, though some women can experience shorter or longer periods. During the menses phase, the pituitary gland will begin to secrete FSH, which triggers the beginning of the next menstrual cycle. Despite what some people may claim, a woman can get pregnant during her menses phase.

The proliferative, or follicular, phase of the menstrual cycle brings on many hormonal changes. First, FSH levels begin to increase to stimulate the maturation of follicles, which leads to the production of an ovum, or egg. At the same time, ovaries produce higher amounts of estrogen, causing the lining of the uterus to thicken in preparation for receiving an egg. The estrogen levels peak at this phase, causing the production of FSH to slow and instead secrete LH. The increase in LH causes one of the matured follicles to rupture and release the ovum, which then travels to the fallopian tubes. The release of this unfertilized egg is called ovulation, and is the most fertile time during a woman’s menstrual cycle.

If a woman is wanting to get pregnant, the secretory phase plays an important part in maintaining her pregnancy. During the first few months of pregnancy, the secretory phase increases the blood that flows throughout and maintains the woman’s body temperature. During the menstrual cycle, this phase takes place in an attempt to help the woman during pregnancy. An element known as progesterone is created in helping with the pregnant woman’s uterus as well as its main body functions. When a woman is getting ready to give birth, her uterus muscles will start contracting. This means the baby will be born soon. If the muscle contract, but the baby should not be born right now, then this may cause problems. The secretory phase helps in smoothing out the muscles so they won’t contract during the earlier part of the pregnancy.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, or most commonly referred to as GnRH, goes to the anterior pituitary gland once it is released from the hypothalamus. As a child, the activity level of GnRH is very low compared to when we reach adolescence of puberty. However, regardless of age, this hormone is released by the hypothalamus through tiny blood vessels to the pituitary gland to produce two more hormones called follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These two additional hormones are then released into the general circulation of the body – mainly the testes and ovaries – to maintain their respective reproductive functions, regulate the levels of testosterone and progesterone and control the production of the sperm cells and the release and maturation of egg cells during a female’s menstrual cycle.
