Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

The male and female glands respond to luteinizing hormone (LH) and FSH, which are released from the anterior pituitary in response to stimulation from GnRH that is released from the hypothalamus. GHRH stimulates the release of the growth hormone, which ta

The nursing instructor is discussing the physiology of pregnancy with her clinical group. What hormone, produced during pregnancy, would the instructor tell the students helps to maintain the pregnancy until birth of the fetus? Options A, B, and C are not correct.

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

The nursing instructor is talking with her class of students about the female reproductive system. A student is trying to understand the role of progesterone in the body. What nonreproductive affect does progesterone have on the body?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Progesterone has an anti-insulin effect to generate a higher blood glucose concentration to allow for rapid diffusion of glucose to the developing embryo. Body temperature and appetite are increased by progesterone. Uterine motility is decreased to provid

What hormone causes ovulation to occur?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

When the circulating estrogen level rises high enough, it stimulates a massive release of LH from the anterior pituitary causing one of the developing follicles to burst and release the ovum with its stored hormones into the system. ACTH targets the adren

A 16-year-old girl comes to the clinic complaining of severe menstrual cramps. The girl is concerned about the pain and worried that “something is wrong.” The nurse explains to the patient that she has cramping during her menstrual period because of what?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Prostaglandins in the uterus stimulate uterine contractions to clamp off vessels in the lining of the uterus, which is the cause of the cramping. The decrease of estrogen and progesterone after the involution of the corpus luteum triggers the release of f

What hormone is the first to be produced when the ovum is fertilized and implanted in the uterine wall?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

After the ovum is fertilized and implants itself in the uterine wall, human chorionic gonadotropin is produced by the junction of the fertilized embryo with the uterine wall. ACTH and GH are not involved with his process. The release of prolactin helps wi

The physiology instructor is discussing the effects of the sex hormones on the human body. Testosterone is responsible for what effects on the male body?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Testosterone enters the cell and reacts with a cytoplasmic receptor site to influence messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) activity resulting in the production of proteins for cell structure or function. Testosterone is responsible for both baldness and hair

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Increased testosterone levels in boys at puberty results in thickening of the skin, a deeper voice, development of facial hair, and closure of the epiphyses. These previously established effects would be maintained by the androgens, which still remain in

A nurse is teaching a health class for girls at the local high school and explains the primary goal of sex hormones is what?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Each ovum is contained in a storage site called a follicle. The follicles act as endocrine glands producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. The primary goal of these hormones is to prepare the body for pregnancy and to maintain the pregnancy until

The nurse is caring for a patient whose fallopian tubes were damaged by recurrent pelvic infections resulting in complete obstruction of both tubes. The patient asks the nurse, “Why can't I get pregnant?” What is the nurse's best response?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

The sperm travels through the fallopian tube to the ova, released into the abdomen near the end of one of the fallopian tubes. With both fallopian tubes blocked, no passageway exists for sperm to reach the ova. Damage to the fallopian tubes does not impac

As a woman goes through menopause what happens? (Select all that apply.)

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

The follicles contained in the ovary become depleted over time, the ovaries no longer produce estrogen and progesterone, and menopause begins with the cessation of menses. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland produce increased levels of GnRH, FSH, and LH

A school nurse who is teaching a health course at the local high school is presenting information on human development and sexuality. When talking about the role of hormones in sexual development, which hormone does the nurse teach is most important for developing and maintaining the female reproductive organs?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Estrogens are responsible for developing and maintaining the female reproductive organs. Progesterone is the most important hormone for conditioning the endometrium in preparation for implantation of the fertilized ovum. Androgens, secreted by the ovaries

Spermatogenesis occurs in response to what hormone?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

FSH directly stimulates the seminiferous tubules to produce sperm, a process called spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis does not occur in response to LH or GnRH (options A and B). Option D, GfRH is a distracter for this question.
