Q

Enumerate 2 main functions of human choriogonadotropin (HCG)

A

1) To prevent normal involution of the corpus luteum at the end of the female sexual cycle
2) Causes the corpus luteum to secrete large amounts of sexual hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.

Q

false about human choriogonadotropin
A.Coincidentally with the development of the trophocyte cells of an early fertilized ovum
B. The secretion of this hormone can first be measured shortly after the blastocyst implants in the endometrium.
C. Then the rate of secretion rises rapidly to reach a maximum about 10-12 weeks after ovulation and decreases to a much lower value by 16-20 weeks after ovulation.

A

A. why? because trophoblast dapat. the hormone HCG is secreted by syncytial trophoblast cells into the fluids of the mother

Q

False about specimen collection for HCG study:
A.Midstream urine is most acceptable
B.Suprapubic puncture is less acceptable than midstream
C.NOTA

A

B - suprapubic puncture is better because sample is sterile. but it involves bladder puncture, so it is harder to collect.

26
Q

Enumerate 3 causes of female sterility, and indicate most common one

A
  1. abnormal physio fxn of genital system
  2. abnormal genetic development of ova
  3. failure to ovulate - most common.
27
Q

How does endometriosis occlude the fallopian tubes?

A

Endometrium tissue grows and even menstruates in the pelvic cavity surrounding the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. This causes fibrosis throughout the pelvis, enshrouds the ovaries. Hence, ovum cannot be released;
