MALE REPRODUCTIVE & PREP U

estrogen and inhibin/ estrogen

? and ? in males help provide negative feedback because they are an ?-like molecule

Androgen therapy will be initiated to sustain the characteristics.

A group of students are reviewing information about the menstrual cycle. The students demonstrate understanding when they identify what as the onset of the menstrual cycle?

Inability to become pregnant

A nurse caring for a 43-year-old client explains to the client that ovarian functions gradually decrease around this age. What is the implication of decreased ovarian function?

prostaglandins.

A patient reports menstrual cramps. The nurse understands that this is due to:

Production of human chorionic gonadotropin

After describing the events of the menstrual cycle to a group of students, the instructor determines that the students have understood the information when they identify what as the initial event that occurs following fertilization and implantation?

androgens

After puberty, secondary male sexual characteristics can be maintained by:

Secretion of estrogen and progesterone

After teaching a class on the female reproductive system, the nurse determines that the teaching was successful when the class identifies what as a primary function of the ovaries?

14

By about which day in the menstrual cycle does ovulation occur?

GnRH, FSH and LH

CNS> hypothalamus> triggers release of ?> anterior putuitary> releases ? and ?.

Testes

Castration involves the removal of what structure of the male reproductive system?

Leydig cells

Damage to what component of the male reproductive system would result in a lack of testosterone?

Scrotum

During fetal development, the descent of the testes into what structure helps prevent injury to the sperm-producing cells?

sexual/ testes/ vocal/ bone/ skin/ hematocrit

EFFECTS of TESTOSTERONE -Growth of male and ? accessory organs -Growth of ? and scrotal sac -Tickening of ? chords -Body hair growth -Male-pattern baldness -increase protein anabolism and decrease protein catabolism -Increase ? growth, length and width -Thickening of cartilage and ? leading to male gait -Vascular thickening -increased ?

seminiferous tubules/ estrogens

FSH is going to effect the ?? to inhibit the production of sperm and ?

Human chorionic gonadotropin

Fertilization of the ovum and implantation in the uterine wall result in the production of what hormone?

corpus albicans.

If pregnancy does not occur during the menstrual cycle, the corpus luteum involutes and becomes the:

15-28

In an ideal 28-day menstrual cycle, the secretory phase occurs during which days?

menopause

Regular monthly menstrual cycles cease at the time of:

seminiferous tubules

Sperm are produced by the:

sperm

The males can still produce ? until they die

Penile vasodilation

The nurse is preparing an outline for a class on the physiology of the male sexual response. Which event would the nurse identify as occurring first?

Testes

The nurse is teaching a health education class on male reproductive anatomy and asks the students to identify the site of sperm production. Which structure, if identified by the group, would indicate to the nurse that the teaching was successful?

Beta-blockers

The nurse should education a client prescribed which classification of medication about its affect on sexual function?

Placenta

The production of estrogen during pregnancy would be negatively affected if which structure was not functioning effectively?

SNS

The sexual response involves the ???

fertilization.

The union of an ovum and a spermatozoon is called:

Hormone levels decrease significantly.

What happens with the hormones associated with pregnancy once the fetus and the placenta have been expelled from the uterus?

Impaired testes function

What is the trigger for andropause in a male client?

LH

What stimulates the production of testosterone by the Leydig cells located in the testes?

Receives the fertilized ovum and provides housing and nourishment for a fetus

What would be the best response by a nursing student about the function of the uterus?

Bone calcium level

When considering the hormonal changes that occur, the nurse should encourage which diagnostic screening for a postmenopausal woman?

Proliferative

When describing the menstrual cycle to a group of young women, the nurse explains that estrogen levels are highest during which phase of the endometrial cycle?

Fallopian tube

When describing the process of fertilization, the nurse would explain that it normally occurs in which structure?

Menarche

When the nurse is interviewing an adolescent, the patient states that she experienced her first menstrual cycle at age 11. The nurse documents this as:

progesterone estrogen

Which hormone is associated with menopause?

Luteinizing hormone

Which hormone is responsible for ovulation?

Estrogen

Which hormone is responsible for the development of wider hips, breasts, and soft skin in females?

GnRH

Which hormone would be initially responsible for hormone secretion from the ovaries and testes?

adrenal

androgens produced by the ? glands

andropause

period marked by a decline in the male reproductive hormone testosterone and its resultant physical and emotional effects. The seminiferous tubules and interstitial cells stop reproductive release hormones.

seminiferous tubules

sperm is produced by

increases

sunlight ? testosterone

testes/ cell/ receptor site

testosterone is produced by the ? and enters the ? to react with the ??

proteins

testosterone produces ? that are responsible to the structure and function of reproductive system,

interstitial or leydig cells

what produces testosterone

estrogen and inhibin

you don't want an overproduction of sperm so the ? and ? keeps that from happening
