Answer 15

Vagina

Question 16

represents the cyclical pattern of ovarian activity that facilitates female animals to go from a period of reproductive receptivity to non receptivity ultimately allowing the establishment of pregnancy following mating.

Answer 16

estrous cycle

Question 17

Answer 17

Estrogen

Question 18

Causing the wellingness of the animal to be mounted by the other animals

Answer 19

Estrogen

Question 20

increased blood flow to the genital organs and the production of mucus by glands in the cervix and vagina.

Answer 20

Estrogen

Question 21

Prevents cyclicity by acting on the anterior pituitary in a negative feedback fashion; therefore, decreasing the release of FSH and LH.

Answer 21

Progesterone

Question 22

Progesterone

Question 23

is the mature ______ that contains the egg to be released during ovulation. And produce estrogen

Graafian Follicle

Question 24

The remnants of the Graafian follicle after it has released the egg are known as ______ ______ and it is responsible for progesterone production.

Answer 24

Corpus luteum

Question 25

It controls the release of pituitary hormones by releasing small peptide hormones the GnRH

Answer 25

hypothalamus

Question 26

A small peptide hormones that travel down short blood vessels from the hypothalamus to the pituitary

Answer 26

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone

Question 27

stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce and release FSH and LH.

Answer 27

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone

Question 28

stimulates the maturation of secondary follicles to tertiary follicles and stimulates the production of estradiol (estrogen) by the follicle.

Answer 28

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Question 29

• is necessary for the maturation and estrogen production of tertiary follicles.

The estrogen level decreases during the surge and the progesterone level increases

Question 31

the ruptured follicle closes and forms corpus luteum, which produces _______.

Answer 31

progesterone

Question 32

This hormone is secreted by the endometrium of the uterus and also affects structures on the ovary. helping to initiate ovulation by causing the demise of the CL, which results in withdrawal of progesterone's negative feedback mechanism.

Answer 32

Prostaglandin F2 Alpha

Question 33

a hormone that is dominant in ovulatory phase

Answer 33

Luteinizing Hormone
