25
The connective tissue in the ovary is called
TUNICA ALBUGINEA
26
tunica albuginea is composed of what tissue
dense irregular connective tissue
27
The egg cell will wait for the sperm cell in the?
fallopian tube
28
During menstrual cycle, progesterone will peak and would have a negative effect on the ________and the _______
hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary
29
If there is fertilization and there would be a loss of LH and degeneration of the corpus luteum, what will now maintain the endometrium in the secretory phase so that the fertilized ovum can still implant into it?
LH will be replaced by another hormone. That is the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG)
30
Produced by the embryo which will now act on the corpus luteum because LH and this hormone has actually almost have the same structures.
HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN (HCG)
31
The corpus luteum will continuously produce progesterone to maintain the ________phase for the embryo to have an area to implant itself.
secretory
32
During MENSTRUATION a woman is expected to have low levels of what hormones?
estrogen and progesterone
33
TRUE OR FALSE In the absence of progesterone, SPIRAL ARTERIES will coil further.
TRUE
34
The main reason why this portion of the endometrium will be sloped off is because of the necrosis of the cell due to
lack of blood supply secondary to the spasm
35
In this phase, the glands have already started secreting materials in preparation for the implantation of the embryo
SECRETORY PHASE
36
As time goes by during the secretory phase, the Corpus luteum will eventually produce high amounts of what hormone?
progesterone
37
These two are responsible in responding to the increased levels of progesterone by decreasing the synthesis of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the hypothalamus and FSH.
HYPOTHALAMUS and ANTERIOR PITUITARY
38
In the absence of LUTEINIZING HORMONE (LH), what happens to corpus luteum? A. regenerate B. degenerate C.thickens D. shrinks
B.degenerate
39
corpus luteum will eventually become what
CORPUS ALBICANS
40
TRUE OR FALSE Since there is a decrease in the level of progesterone, the secretory phase will no longer be maintained.
TRUE
41
This acts on the follicle causing it to burst and release the egg cell.
LUTEINIZING HORMONE (LH)
42
The process of ovulation is caused by what hormone?
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
43
Caused by the peak levels of estrogen.
LH SURGE
44
The ______will cause the cells in the endometrium to proliferate, to restore back the normal thickness of the endometrium.
estrogen
45
Phase where cells are proliferating in response to the effect of estrogen.
PROLIFERATIVE PHASE
46
There will come a time when the estrogen will reach its peak level. That peak level will be sensed by the?
anterior pituitary gland
47
TRUE OR FALSE Every year, one follicle is then selected to mature and that selected follicle will increase in size until such time that it will eventually burst to release the egg cell.
FALSE EVERY MONTH
48
hormone that would stimulate follicles
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
49
What layer of the uterus contains the capillaries, blood vessels, and glands?
ENDOMETRIUM
50
The layer of the uterus that responds to the changes in the level of hormones in the menstrual cycle.
ENDOMETRIUM
51
Outermost covering of the uterus.
PERIMETRIUM
52
Layer of uterus which becomes the thinnest during the time that the woman is menstruating.
ENDOMETRIUM
53
TRUE OR FALSE ENDOMETRIUM becomes thick after menstruating.
TRUE
54
Holds embryo during its complete development from fetal stage to birth
endometrium
55
Organ which capture the released egg cell from the ovary.
FALLOPIAN TUBE
56
Site for the fertilization of the egg cell.
FALLOPIAN TUBE
57
are enclosed in the ovarian follicles
Oocytes
58
The released egg cells will then be transported where?
toward the uterine tube
59
If an organ would release something directly through a duct, it is considered as an?
exocrine gland
60
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM is divided into two sets of organs?
INTERNAL GENITALIA EXTERNAL GENITALIA
61
INTERNAL GENITALIA is composed of
Paired ovaries Oviducts/Fallopian tube Uterus Vagina
62
The ______is just a lower segment of the uterus. It is not considered as a separate organ.
cervix
63
EXTERNAL GENITALIA is composed of
Clitoris Labia majora Labia minora Vestibule
