The phases of the human sexual response are listed below. Place them in their proper sequence.
Beginning stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system Leveling off of stimulation Massive sympathetic stimulation Resolution of sympathetic effects
A client demonstrating signs of being pregnant asks why a blood test for a human chorionic gonadotropin level is needed. Which response would the nurse make?
"This hormone is produced by the implantation of a fertilized ovum in the uterus."
In an ideal 28-day menstrual cycle, the secretory phase occurs during which days?
15 to 28

A decrease in progesterone production A depletion of female ova A decrease in available estrogen
Which are estrogens produced by the ovaries? (Select all that apply.)
Estradiol Estrone Estriol
Estrogen
Female sex hormone
Which hormone would be initially responsible for hormone secretion from the ovaries and testes?
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone
Fertilization of the ovum and implantation in the uterine wall result in the production of what hormone?
Human chorionic gonadotropin
Damage to what component of the male reproductive system would result in a lack of testosterone?
Leydig cells
When describing the male reproductive system, which would the nurse include as the structure responsible for secreting testosterone?
Leydig cells
What stimulates the production of testosterone by the Leydig cells located in the testes?
Luteinizing hormone
Which hormone is responsible for ovulation?
Luteinizing hormone
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?
Menarche
If pregnancy does not occur, the prepared inner lining of the uterus is sloughed off during what process?
Menstruation
During pregnancy, what complication is related to insufficient progesterone production?
Premature uterine contractions occur
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?
Production of human chorionic gonadotropin
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?
Proliferative
Which is a phase of the human sexual response? (Select all that apply.)
Resolution Climax Stimulation Plateau
The nurse should education a client prescribed which classification of medication about its affect on sexual function?
beta blockers
ova
eggs the female gamete, contain half of the information needed in a human nucleus
Menopause occurs when the female body stops producing which hormones? (Select all that apply.)
estrogen and progesterone
The two hormones released by the ovaries are:
estrogen and progesterone
Menstruation
expulsion of the uterine lining occurring approximately every 28 to 32 days
After describing the process of spermatogenesis to a group of students, the instructor determines that the teaching was successful when the students identify what as being responsible?
follicle stimulating hormone
Which is associated with an increase in gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion?
increased light exposure
The increase in thickness of the endometrial layer during the first half of the menstrual cycle is controlled by the:
increasing level of estrogen.
The release of gonadotropin releasing hormone by the hypothalamus signals the onset of:
increasing level of estrogen.
The increase in thickness of the endometrial layer during the first half of the menstrual cycle is controlled by the:
increasing levels of estrogen
testosterone
male sex hormone; produced by the interstitial or Leydig cells of the testes
The production of estrogen during pregnancy would be negatively affected if which structure was not functioning effectively?
placenta
A patient reports menstrual cramps. The nurse understands that this is due to:
prostaglandins.
The release of gonadotropin releasing hormone by the hypothalamus signals the onset of:
puberty
andropause
referred to as male menopause; is marked by the decrease of the male hormone testosterone
corpus luteum
remains of a follicle that releases mature ovum at ovulation; becomes an endocrine gland producing estrogen and progesterone
Which of these terms describes changes in the uterus between days 15-28 of an ideal menstrual cycle?
secretory phase
Sperm are produced by the:
seminiferous tubules
follicle
storage site of each ovum in the ovary; allows the ovum to grow and develop;
menarche
the first menstrual period
The nurse is creating a student teaching tool that identifies the organs of the male reproductive system. Which structure would the nurse explain that stores sperm?
vas deferns
