2 interior pituitary sex hormones follicles stimulating and lutinizing hormone
3 the ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone

Question 2

Answer 2

1 only a single ovum is normally released from the ovaries each month
2 uterine endometrium is prepared in advance for implementation of the fertilized over at the required time of the month

Question 3

What is the main function of estrogens

Answer 3

Answer 4

Progester and functions mainly to prepare the uterus for pregnancy and the breast for lactation

Question 5

Name the three estrogens that are present in significant quantity in the plasma of the human female

Answer 5

Beta estradiol, estrone and estriol

Question 6

The principle oestrogen secreted by the ovaries is

Answer 6

Beta estradiol

Question 7

what do you know about estrone?

Answer 7

It is one of the estrogen that is released in a small quantity from the peripheral tissues from androgens secreted by the adrenal cortex and by the ovarian thecal cells
It’s potency is 12 times less than beta estradiol

Question 8

What is estriol?

Answer 8

It is a weak estrogen and oxidative product dry from both esterodial and estrone with the conversion occurring mainly in the liver it has potency 80 times less than beta estradiol

Question 9

Answer 9

17 alpha hydroxyprogesterone

Question 10

Estrogens and progesterons are synthesized by

Answer 10

These are synthesized from cholesterol drive from the blood but also to a slide extent from the acetyl co enzyme a multiple molecules of which can combined to form the appropriate steroid nucleus

Question 11

How much testosterone is secreted into the plasma of the female

Answer 11

All about one- fifteenth as much testosterone is secreted into the plasma of the female by the ovaries as a secreted into the plasma of the male by the testes

Question 12

How much testosterone is secreted into the plasma of the female

Answer 12

All about one- fifteenth as much testosterone is secreted into the plasma of the female by the ovaries as a secreted into the plasma of the male by the testes

Question 13

How both estrogen and progesterones are transported in the blood

Answer 13

Estrogens and progesterones are transported in the blood bound mainly with plasma albumin and with specific astrogen and progesterone binding globulins

Question 14

How liver helps in estrogen degradation

Answer 14

The liver conjugates the estrogens to form glucuronides and sulphates. About one fifth of these conjugated products is excreted in the bile most of the reminder is excreted in the urine.
Also the liver Converts the potent oestrogens estradiol and estrone into the almost totally important estrogen estriol
