Question

T or F The corpus albicans is a structure that actively secretes estrogen and progesterone

15. The lining of the uterus is composed of ____________________________________.

16. Fertilization is most likely to occur in the ____________________ of the oviduct.

17. T or F The zona pellucida, secreted by the granulosa cells, is responsible for initial sperm

Which of the following is true of Leydig cells?

They produce progesterone, which is important in maintaining pregnancy

They produce Testosterone, which is used by Sertoli cells to nurture sperm as they differentiate

They are the site of folliculogenesis

They produce alkaline fluid, rich in glucose

None of the above

21. Which is true of LH?

LH stimulates thecal cell proliferation and production of estradiol

LH stimulates granulosa cell luteinization, providing for progesterone production

It binds to a steroid hormone receptor located in the plasma membrane of granulosa cells

None of the above

22. Which of the following is true of the Golgi apparatus as it relates to spermiogenesis?

Modification of the Golgi results in the formation of the acrosome, a structure that is responsible for facilitating sperm movement through the female reproductive tract

If the Golgi membrane is malformed, sperm function may be enhanced

The inner and outer acrosomal membrane are derived from the membranes of the Golgi apparatus

23. The effects of treating a woman with a GnRH antagonist would be which of the following?

Increased production of estradiol by the ovary

Increased production of FSH and LH

Inhibition of fertility due to lack of ovulation

Increased production of testosterone

None of the above

24. Which of the following is true of the midcycle surge in LH?

It is dependent upon high levels of estradiol

It is dependent upon moderate levels of progesterone

It may be inhibited by GnRH

Explanation / Answer

Corpus luteum is a structure that actively secretes estrogen and progesterone but not corpus albicans

Hence given statement is false.

Lining of uterus is composed of endometrium aong with many glands.

Fertilization is most likely to occur in the ampulla of the oviduct.

Leydig cells are stimulated by LH hormone to produce testosterone, which is used by Sertoli cells to nurture sperm as they differentiate

Option b is the answer.
