Question 19

Holds embryo during its complete development from fetal
stage to birth

Answer 19

Endometrium

Question 20

▪ What is in the endometrium that makes it very
important for the developing embryo?

Answer 20

it has endometrial glands that provide nutrients and endometrium blood vessels that provide blood supply

Question 21

three layers of the uterus

Answer 21

Endometrium, Myometrium, Perimetrium

Question 22

▪ The innermost layer which contains the capillaries or
blood vessels and the glands
▪ The layer that responds to the changes in the level of
hormones in the menstrual cycle

Answer 22

Endometrium

Question 23

▪ The thickest and the middle layer
▪ From the name, it can already suggest that its
composition is basically muscle, particularly smooth
muscles

Answer 23

→ Myometrium

Question 24

The outermost covering of the uterus

Answer 24

Perimetrium

Question 25

During menstruation the lining of the endometrium of a woman is thin, as for the progesterone and estrogen, it is very

Answer 25

low

Question 26

The low levels of estrogen and progesterone will be detected by the _________ and it will respond to this by producing gonadotropin-releasing hormone

Answer 26

hypothalamus

Question 27

This gonadotropin releasing hormone will then be transported towards the _______ wherein it will produce FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) and LH (Luteinizing Hormone); FSH is produced in _______ amount than LH

Answer 27

anterior pituitary; higher

Question 28

FSH: adenohypophysis to ovaries Every month one ______ is then selected to mature

Answer 28

follicle

Question 29

All the follicles found in the ovary, the follicle with the _______ receptor to FSH is the one selected to mature on that particular menstrual cycle.

Answer 29

highest

Question 30

follicle has increased in size and then this follicle will respond to the action of FSH by producing ________

Answer 30

estrogen

Question 31

estrogen released from the developing follicle will then act on the _________ and wherein the estrogen will cause the cells in the endometrium to proliferate. this is called ______ phase

Answer 31

endometrium; proliferative

Question 32

That peak level of estrogen will be sensed by the ______ pituitary gland

Answer 32

anterior

Question 33

peak of estrogen that is sensed by the anterior pituitary gland will shift from producing too much FSH to producing now higher amounts of __

Answer 33

LH

Question 34

sudden increase in the LH level in the blood, this phenomenon is called the _____ ________.

Answer 34

LH Surge

Question 35

What is now the consequence of having that increased level of LH in the blood of the woman?

Answer 35

The luteinizing hormone will then act on the follicle causing it to burst and release the egg cell.

Question 36

The remnant of the follicle will actually become the _________

Answer 36

corpus luteum

Question 37

The luteinizing hormone will then act on this corpus luteum and corpus luteum will respond to it by producing __________ will also act on the endometrium.

Answer 37

progesterone

Question 38

e the glands have already started secreting materials in preparation for the implantation of the embryo is called

Answer 38

secretory phase

Question 39

corpus luteum pointed by the red arrow will eventually produce high amounts of progesterone, and this one will be detected by the

Answer 39

hypothalamus and anterior pituitary

Question 40

hypothalamus and anterior pituitary and they will respond to the increased levels of progesterone by decreasing the synthesis of _______________________ in the hypothalamus and FSH and LH in the anterior pituitary.

Answer 40

gonadotropin-releasing hormone

Question 41

when the LH release decreases the corpus luteum will eventually become corpus albicans the time. Why?

Answer 41

Corpus luteum is reliant to the LH hormone

Question 42

as the corpus luteum become the corpus albican, menstruation will start. why?

Answer 42

the corpus luteum releases the progesterone, if it will become corpus albican, there will be no release of progesteron, the endometrium will no longer thicken,

Question 43

● If there is fertilization and there would be 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?

Answer 43

developing embryo will actually produce a substitute for luteinizing hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin hCG

Question 44

hCG will maintain the __________ phase by tricking the corpus luteum while the embryo will have an area to implant itself

Answer 44

secretory
