C)Low levels of estrogen, high levels of progesterone
D)High levels of estrogen and progesterone - CORRECT

hormones are needed for the maintenance of pregnancy.

nonreproductive affect does progesterone have on the
body?
A)Decreased body temperature B)Decreased appetite
C)Anti-insulinD)Increased uterine motility - CORRECT
ANSWERS C
Feedback:
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 provide increased chance
that implantation can occur.
What hormone causes ovulation to occur?
A)Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
B)Luteinizing hormone (LH)
C)Prolactin
D)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) - CORRECT

Feedback:
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 adrenal corticosteroid hormone,
which helps prepare the body for the "fight or flight"
response. Prolactin is responsible for milk production and
FSH in combination with LH stimulate follicles on the
outer surface of the uterus to grow and develop and also
stimulates the release of estrogen and progesterone.
A 16-year-old girl comes to the clinic complaining of

B)Low levels of plasminogen in the uterus that cause the
shedding of the lining of the uterus
C)Prostaglandins in the uterus, which stimulate uterine
contractions to clamp off vessels as the lining of her uterus
sheds
D)An increase in progesterone and a decrease of estrogen
cause the lining of the uterus to slough away - CORRECT
ANSWERS C Feedback:
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 follicle- stimulating
hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The
decreased levels of FSH and LH cause the inner lining of
the uterus to slough off because the vascular system is no
longer being stimulated. High, not low, levels of
plasminogen in the uterus prevent clotting of the lining as
the vessels shear off.
