Penny Chapter 19 - The Menstrual Cycle
the temporary endocrine gland that results from the rupture of the Graafian follicle is the
corpus luteum
the first menstrual cycle is termed
menarche
the corpus luteum primarily releases
progesterone
what hormone maintains the thickness of the endometrium after ovulation
progesterone
which of the following hormones is released by the ovary during the second half of the menstrual cycle
progesterone
the first phase of the endometrial cycle is the
proliferative phase
which of the following would not be a cause of AUB a. endometrial hyperplasia b. hypothyroidism c. adenomyosis d. ovarian torsion
!! d. ovarian torsion
the hormone produced by the trophoblastic cells of the early placenta is
!! hCG
which hormone maintains the corpus luteum during pregnancy
!! hCG
what is the typical sonographic appearance of the endometrium during the secretory phase
!! hyperechoic and thick
during which phase of the endometrial cycle would the endometrium yield the three-line sign
!! late proliferative
the second phase of the ovarian cycle is called the
!! luteal phase
what is defined as frequent regular cycles but less than 21 days apart
!! polymenorrhea
when the ovary is in the luteal phase, the endometrium is in the
!! secretory
the second phase of the endometrial cycle is the
!! secretory phase
ovulation typically occurs on day ____ of the menstrual cycle
14
the structure noted within the Graafian follicle containing the developing ovum is the
cumulus oophorus
which hormone released by the ovary during the proliferative phase stimulates endometrial thickening
estrogen
the first phase of the ovarian cycle is the
follicular phase
what structure may be noted on the ovary just prior to ovulation
graafian follicle
which of the following could also be described as intermenstual bleeding
metrorrhagiaa
the measurement of the endometrium during the early proliferative phase ranges from
!! 4 - 8 mm
a change in menstrual bleeding associated with lesions within the uterus relates to
!! AUB
ectopic endometrial tissue within the uterus that leads to AUB is termed
!! adenomyosis
the average menstrual cycle lasts
28 days
the hormone of the pituitary gland that stimulates follicular development of the ovary
FSH
the hormone produced by the hypothalamus that controls the release of the hormones for menstruation by the anterior pituitary gland is
GnRH (Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone)
the dominant follicle prior to ovulation is termed the
Graafian follicle
the hormone that surges at ovulation is
LH
the two hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland that impact the menstrual cycle are
LH and FSH
FSH is produced by the
anterior pituitary gland
LH is produced by the
anterior pituitary gland
which structure remains after the corpus luteum has regressed
corpus albicans
painful and difficult menstruation is termed
dysmenorrhea
an increase in the number of endometrial cells is termed
endometrial hyperplasia
when the sonographic three-line sign is present, the functional layer of the endometrium typically appears
hypoechoic
the periovulatory phase may also be referred to as the
late proliferative phase
what structure produces hormones that directly act upon the endometrium to produce varying thicknesses and sonographic appearances
ovaries
what is said to be a common cause of DUB
polycystic ovary syndrome
the arteries within the functional layer of the endometrium that are altered by the hormones of the ovary and are shed with menstruation are the
spiral arteries
