NR507: Final Exam
ovulation ans: the release of an ovum from a mature follicle
luteal phase ans: period of corpus luteum activity (days 14-28)
Corpus luteum ans: name given to a follicle after ovulation because of its yellow color
follicular phase ans: The phase of the menstrual cycle during which FSH acts on granulosa cells, resulting
in the maturation of several oocytes, of which, usually, only one becomes completely mature.
Phases of the uterine cycle ans: menses, proliferative, secretory
What is the menses phase of the uterine cycle? ans: the endometrial lining is shed
What is the proliferative uterine phase? ans: new layer of endometrium develops
What is the secretory phase of the uterine cycle? ans: the endometrium becomes prepared for
implantation of the fertilized egg
Function of follicle stimulating hormone in females ans: stimulates maturation of follicle to egg
Ovulation occurs after the between the _______ and ________ phases of the ovarian cycle ans:
follicular; luteal
Progresterone ans: hormone that promotes gestation
gonadotropic hormones ans: Luteinizing hormone (LH)
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
ovarian hormones ans: estrogen
progesterone
inhibin
How is uterine prolapse measured? ans: Baden-walker halfway system
Signs of PMDD ans: extreme mood swings, sadness, hopelessness, anger, breast tenderness, bloating
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) definition ans: bleeding that is abnormal in duration, volume,
frequency, or regularity that has been present for the majority of 6 months
non -structural causes of AUB ans: "COEIN"
coagulopathy
ovulatory dysfunction
endometrial
iatrogenic
, not-yet classified
Structural causes of AUB ans: "Palm"
polyp
adenomyosis
leiomyoma
malignancy and hyperplasia
PCOS the most common cause of ___________ and _________ ____________ ans: anovulation and
ovulatory dysfunction
What is PCOS? ans: Multiple ovarian follicular cysts due to hormone imbalance that can cause infertility
Pts with increased risk of Prostate CA ans: HIV infection
undescended testicle
family history
personal history
carcinoma in situ of the testicle
What is up regulation of hormones? ans: the cells increase the number of receptors in response to low
blood hormone levels to increase chances of interaction between target hormone and cell
What is down regulation of hormones? ans: cells decrease sensitivity to specific hormone in response to
high blood levels by reducing number of receptors
Function of T3 and T4 ans: secreted by the Thyroid; regulate the speed with which the cells/metabolism
work,
affects HR, muscle and digestive function, brain development, and bone maintenace
What dietary component if=s required for adequate thyroid function? ans: iodine
What is Cushing's syndrome? ans: hypercortisolism
ACTH dependent Cushing's syndrome ans: the excess ACTH stimulates excess production of cortisol and
there is a loss of feedback control of ACTH secretion
ACTH independent Cushing's syndrome ans: primary adrenal overproduction as in; adenoma of the
adrenal cortex; primary nodular hyperplasia
Cushing's syndrome is more common in ________? ans: Women
Symptoms of Cushing's syndrome ans: weight gain, truncal obesity, buffalo hump, moon face, glucose
intolerance
Hypoparathyroid cause ans: parathyroid gland injury or resection
Primary hypothyroidism ans: caused by destruction of thyroid tissue or defective hormone synthesis
ovulation ans: the release of an ovum from a mature follicle
