PRADO PART 1 Flashcards
GnRH, FSH, and LH targets?
APG, granulosa cells (ovary), theca interna and luteal cells
FSH induces 2 hormone synthesis
estradiol, inhibin
FSH and LH is produced by the (organ)
anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
if there is a spike in LH, what does it stimulate ?
stimulates ovulation and the formation of corpus luteum (luteinization)
The more follicles grow, the more estradiol is produced T/F
T
2 hormones released by the granulosa cells
estradiol, inhibin
estradiol targets the following except:
brain
myometrium
reproductive tract lining
none
none
Arched back behavior indicating that a female will allow a male to mount her
lordosis
progesterone is released by
corpeus luteum, in or on ovary
P4 targets the following except:
hypothalamus
reproductive tract lining
brain
myometrium
alveoli
endometrium
2nd
P4 functions:
decrease GnRH release, increase reproductive behavior, increase myometrial contractions, increase alveoli devt, increase endometrial secretions
dec, dec, dec, inc inc
at low levels, P4 has a positive feedback on GnRh
false - either high levels dapat or negative feedback
what stage and under what phase?
FSH just peaked, inc E2 and inhibin, P4 low and non exsitent, LH tonic
proestrus/follicular
what stage and under what phase?
E2 and inhibin peaking, LH surge, declining FSH
estrus/follicular
marks the transition from follicular to luteal phase
ovulation
what stage and under what phase?
dec E2 & inhibin, tonic LH, inc p4, small FSH peak
metestrus/luteal
