E109 Final Exam Questions With Complete Solutions
Absorption (in terms of pressure) Correct Answers Hydrostatic
pressure < colloid osmotic pressure
Anterior pituitary Correct Answers Stimulated by GnRH from
hypothalamus
Makes LH and FSH
Clearance rate
Synonyms?
What is its relationship with reabsorption? Secretion? Correct
Answers Glomerular filtration rate/excretion rate
Constantly increases, but reabsorption is saturated and levels off
at a certain point
Is higher if secretion occurs too
Colloid osmotic pressure Correct Answers pressure of water on
either side of a membrane inside a thing
Corpus luteum Correct Answers Follicle after ovulation (cells
that surrounded egg before it was released)
Endometrial lining during ovarian/uterine cycle Correct
Answers During menstruation, decreases, then grows a bit
during rest of follicular phase, then continues increasing through
ovulation and luteal phase
Estrogen levels during ovarian/uterine cycle Correct Answers
Constant during follicular phase, peak during ovulation, constant
, again but then another peak during luteal phase, then decrease at
end of luteal phase again
If fertilization occurs, peak during luteal is not a peak but just
keeps on increasing
Estrogens Correct Answers Promote endometrium growth
Stimulate granulosa cells
Female embryonic development Correct Answers Mitosis
occurs, as well as diploid cells and replication
Female puberty Correct Answers Meiosis and 1 egg made per
gamete
Fertilization Correct Answers Egg + sperm = zygote
Egg fertilized in fallopian tube
Filtration (in terms of pressure) Correct Answers Hydrostatic
pressure > colloid osmotic pressure
FSH Correct Answers Stimulates granulosa cells, stimulates
follicle growth (females)
Stimulates sertoli cells (males)
FSH and LH levels throughout a female's life Correct Answers
Peak between fertilization and birth, low levels before puberty
From puberty to menopause, cyclic peaks and valleys which
produce individual eggs monthly
At menopause, increase and then taper to a plateau
