Chapter 28, Problem 5CAL
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone which works in collaboration with LH to facilitate proper functioning of the reproductive system. FSH is secreted by the pituitary gland. The female ovaries contain immature follicles, which in turn mature and support the oocytes.

Select one:
A. To trigger the thickening of the endometrium in the luteal stage
B. To promote menstruation during the follicular stage
C. To promote menstruation during the luteal stage
D. To trigger the thickening of the endometrium in the follicular stage
How do tubal ligations and vasectomies prevent further pregnancies?
Select one:
a. The corpus luteum and the epididymis are suppressed using a chemical swab. The fertilized egg could no longer implant in the endometrium.
b. The Fallopian tubes and vas deferens are cut and tied off, thereby preventing the movement of the eggs and sperm.
c. The Fallopian tubes and the vas deferens are cut. Eggs and sperm can no longer be produced.
d. The Fallopian tube and vas deferens are cut and tied off, thereby reducing needed reproductive hormone levels.
Which of the following is not a mechanism on how contraceptive pills work to prevent pregnancy?
A.
thinning the endometrium to prevent implantation
B.
inhibition of follicular development and suppression of ovulation
