Chapter 19 ( The Menstrual Cycle) Flashcards
Ovulation typically occurs on day _____ of the menstrual cycle?
14
Follicle stimulating hormone is produced by the:
anterior pituitary gland
A change in menstrual bleeding associate with lesions within the uterus relates to:
abnormal uterine bleeding
Painful and difficult menstruation is termed:
dysmenorrhea
The temporary endocrine gland that results from the rupture of the Graafian follicle is the:
corpus luteum
The corpus luteum is maintained during pregnancy by which hormone?
hCG
An increase in the number of endometrial cells is termed:
endometrial hyperplasia
Endocrine abnormalities that cause abnormal vaginal bleeding are related to:
dysfunctional uterine bleeding
The structure noted within the graafian follicle containing the developing ovum is the:
cumulus oophorus
After the corpus luteum has regressed, which structure remains:
corpus albicans
The hormone of the pituitary gland that stimulates follicular development of the ovary is:
follicle-stimulating hormone
The first phase of the ovarian cycle is the:
follicular phase
The hormone produced by the hypothalamus that controls the release of the hormones for menstruation by the anterior pituitary gland:
gonadotropin-releasing hormone
The dominant follicle prior to ovulation is termed the:
Graafian follicle
The hormone produced by the trophoblastic cells of the early placenta is:
hCG
The hormone that is responsible for ovulation is:
luteinizing hormone
The first phase of the endometrial cycle is the:
proliferative phase
Which hormone released by the ovary during the proliferative phase stimulates endometrial thickening?
estrogen
The periovulatory phase may also be referred to as the:
late proliferative phase
The corpus luteum primarily releases:
progesterone
Ectopic endometrial tissue within the uterus that leads to abnormal uterine bleeding is termed:
adenomyosis
The arteries within the functional layer of the endometrium that are altered by the hormones of the ovary are
spiral arteries
The second phase of the endometrial cycle is the:
secretory phase
Which hormone is released by the ovary during the second half of the menstrual cycle?
progesterone
Luteinizing hormone is produced by the:
anterior pituitary gland
The average menstrual cycle lasts:
28 days
The first menstrual cycle is termed:
menarche
The measurement of the endometrium during the proliferative phase ranges from:
4-8 mm
The second phase of the ovarian cycle is called the
luteal phase
The two hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland that impact the menstrual cycle are:
luteinizing hormone and FSH
