What hormone stimulates the release of the follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH) from both male and female glands?
A Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
B) Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)
C)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
D)Prolactin-releasing hormone (PRH)
c
The male and female glands respond to luteinizing hormone (LH)
and FSH, which are released from the anterior pituitary in
response to stimulation from GnRH that is released from the
hypothalamus. GHRH stimulates the release of the growth
hormone, which targets cell growth. TRH stimulates the thyroid-
stimulating hormone, which targets the thyroid gland. PRH

stimulates the release of prolactin, which is necessary for milk
production.
A nurse is providing patient education to a patient as part of her
work in a fertility clinic. The nurse explains possible reasons for
infertility. When explaining how the ovaries are involved in
conception, what will the nurse stress?
A) Ova quickly degenerate and most are absorbed in the body
before the age of 12.
B) The ovaries at birth contain all of the ova that a woman will
have.
C) Ova aggregate, causing millions to be contained in a storage
site called a follicle. D)Follicles produce only estrogen; the
uterus produces progesterone.
b
It would be important to explain that the woman's ova do not
increase or decrease from birth to childbearing years. The nurse
will stress that all the ova that a woman will have will be present
at birth. The patient should understand that if she does not

ovulate 1 month or for several months, it is not because she has
done something to her body to cause this. Ova slowly degenerate
over a lifetime or they are released once a month until
menopause is complete. Each ovum is contained in a storage site
called a follicle, which produces the female sex hormones,
estrogen and progesterone.
The nursing instructor is discussing the physiology of pregnancy
with her clinical group. What hormone, produced during
pregnancy, would the instructor tell the students helps to
maintain the pregnancy until birth of the fetus?
A) High levels of estrogen only
B) High levels of estrogen, low levels of progesterone
C) Low levels of estrogen, high levels of progesterone
D) High levels of estrogen and progesterone
D
Feedback:
In a pregnant woman, both estrogen and progesterone hormones
have specific functions. High levels of both hormones are needed
for the maintenance of pregnancy.

The nursing instructor is talking with her class of students about
the female reproductive system. A student is trying to
understand the role of progesterone in the body. What
nonreproductive affect does progesterone have on the body?
A) Decreased body temperature
B) Decreased appetite
C)Anti-insulin
D)Increased uterine motility
C
Feedback:
Progesterone has an anti-insulin effect to generate a higher
blood glucose concentration to allow for rapid diffusion of
glucose to the developing embryo. Body temperature and
appetite are increased by progesterone. Uterine motility is
decreased to provide increased chance that implantation can
occur.
