Female Reproductive System Sherpath
Which statement describes the purpose of the luteal phase of the female reproductive cycle? The mature ovum is released. Growth of the follicle is promoted. One follicle is matured for ovulation. The endometrium is prepared for the ovum.
The endometrium is prepared for the ovum. During the luteal phase, the corpus luteum secretes estrogen and progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a fertilized ovum.
Which physical change indicates impending ovulation? Necrotic endometrium Thin, stringy cervical mucus Thickened endometrial secretions Dilation of endometrial blood vessels
Thin, stringy cervical mucus Thin, stringy cervical mucus aids sperm entry into the uterus and that indicates impending ovulation.
Place the changes in female sexual maturation in the typical order of occurrence. Menstruation Breast development Pubic hair development Axillary hair growth
Breast development Pubic hair development Axillary hair growth Menstruation
Which statement explains how a 5-year-old female could present with pubic hair growth? Estrogen is released prematurely by the anterior pituitary. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is released in large quantities from the ovaries. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is released prematurely by the hypothalamus. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is released in large quantities from the hypothalamus.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is released prematurely by the hypothalamus. A 5-year-old female who presents with pubic hair growth is experiencing isosexual precocious puberty caused by premature release of GnRH.
In which way is the hypothalamus responsible for sexual maturation? It produces estrogen to stimulate growth of breast tissue. It releases luteinizing hormone (LH) to stimulate growth of the ovaries. It produces follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to stimulate maturation of the follicles. It releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to stimulate the anterior pituitary gland.
It releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to stimulate the anterior pituitary gland. The hypothalamus is responsible for sexual maturation by releasing GnRH to stimulate the anterior pituitary gland to release FSH and LH.
Which effect would secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin during the luteal phase have on the endometrial cycle of the female reproductive cycle? Lack of menstruation Release of multiple ova Necrosis of the endometrium Decreased levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Lack of menstruation Human chorionic gonadotropin is secreted from a fertilized ovum and results in maintenance of the corpus luteum and lack of menstruation during the endometrial cycle.
Match the female reproductive structure with its role during childbirth. Muscle contracts to expel fetus Fibrous tissue opens to accommodate fetus's passage into the birth canal Muscle expands as fetus moves through birth canal Muscle stretches as fetal head emerges Perineum Uterus Fallopian tube Cervix Ovary Vagina

Which statements describe how the uterus, ovaries, and Fallopian tubes function together to assist in conception? Select all that apply. Ovaries mature the ovum. The uterus stores glycogen. Fallopian tubes transport the ovum. The uterus supports pelvic structures. The ovary releases follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
Ovaries mature the ovum. The ovaries develop an ovum to maturity during each reproductive cycle to assist in conception. The uterus stores glycogen. The uterus prepares for conception during each reproductive cycle by storing large quantities of glycogen, proteins, lipids, and minerals in the endometrium. Fallopian tubes transport the ovum. The Fallopian tubes transport the ovum during each reproductive cycle to assist in conception.
How does the endometrium assist in the reproductive cycle? The myometrium causes blood loss during menarche. The functional layer of the endometrium releases estrogen and progesterone. The functional layer of the endometrium is shed during the menstrual period. The basal layer of the endometrium regenerates the myometrium each month.
The functional layer of the endometrium is shed during the menstrual period. The functional layer of the endometrium is shed during each menstrual period and is responsible for blood loss during menarche.
