A

testosterone (process occurs in leydig cells)

26
Q

Cholesterol > pregnonelone > 17 OH preg > DHEA > testosterone > (aromatase)

A

estradiol

27
Q

An organ with 5-alpha-reductase which converts testosterone to DHT

A

prostate

28
Q

Sertoli cellls produce _____ as a response to _____ stimulation.

A

inhibin, FSH

29
Q

Leydig cells produce ______ as a response to _______ stimulation.

A

testosterone, LH

30
Q

T/F, endometriosis (presence of endometrium in many different areas that shed with the endometrium in uterus during menstruation) can be treated by giving excess GnRH

A

T, excess GnRH causes LH/FSH to lower so menstrual cycle won’t occur

31
Q

Breast development

A

thenarche

32
Q

When does growth stop?

A

2 years after menarche

33
Q

Which is higher FSH or LH during: childhood, puberty, reproductive years, senescence

A

FSH>LH, LH>FSH, LH>FSH, FSH>LH

34
Q

Theca cells/layers originate from:

A

stromal cells

35
Q

At what stage of oocyte development does the zona pellucida appea?

A

stage 2 (growing preantral follicle)

36
Q

T/F zona pellucide is made up of granulosa cells.

A

F, it is made up of mucopolysaccharides

37
Q

Phases of menstrual cycles and time period

A
  1. follicular (day 1-13), 2. ovulatory (day 14-17), 3. luteal (day 15-28)
38
Q

True or false, there are LH and FSH receptors in theca cells

A

False, only LH in theca cells while both LH and FSH in granulosa cells

39
Q

LH and FSH surge (FSH surge in particular) causes _______ which causes the breakdown of follicular wall and expulsion of ova?

A

increased production of plasmin and prostaglandin

40
Q

Lifespan of corpus luteum in non-pregnant women.

A

14 days (kaya nga nagkakamenstruation 14 days after ovulation/formation of corpus luteum kasi nawawala na siya by that time)

41
Q

Function of inhibin

A

inhibit FSH release of pituitary thereby inhibiting ovulation during pregnancy

42
Q

Total number of oocytes that can undergo ovulation?

A

500

43
Q

3 phases of endometrial changes and time period

A
  1. menstrual (days 1-4), 2. proliferative (days 5-14), 3. secretory (days 15-28)
44
Q

Peak of progesterone

A

day 21

45
Q

Peak of estrogen

A

day 12

46
Q

Endometrial phase when mucus secretion is elastic and there is a increase in fallopian tube cilia and secretions.

A

proliferatvie

47
Q

As a result of testosterone increase what changes happen in cholesterol in males?

A

high VLDL and LDL, low HDL (reason why men can get heart attack earlier than women)

48
Q

T/F, steroidogenesis requires LH only while spermatogenesis requires LH and FSH

A

T
