3. Role of Hormones: The release of the ovum is regulated by hormones. Specifically, certain hormones are responsible for triggering the ovulation process. 4. Identifying the Key Hormone: The hormone primarily

23.6.4 Control of PRL Release Prolactin secretion is predominantly under stimulatory hypothalamic control, although some inhibitory influence is possible. 23.6.4.1 Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) VIP is the major hypothalamo-hypophysiotropic factor stimulating PRL release (Table 23.2). 23.6.4.1.1 ...
Which of the following is not a hormone released from the anterior pituitary? a. prolactin inhibiting hormone b. follicle stimulating hormone c. luteinizing hormone growth hormone d. adrenocorticotropic hormone The hormone than prepares the ovary to re...
the peaking estradiol levels cause a rapid surge in FSH and LH levels. This directly results in ovulation – the release of the now mature ovum from its follicle. After ovulation, FSH levels drop in response to a rise in progesterone, and they remain low until the next menstrual cycle begin...
What is the medical term for a female gonad that produces eggs? Which one of the following is a similarity between spermatogenesis and oogenesis? (a) They both occur in the testicles. (b) They both occur in the ovum. (c) They both begin with haploid gametes. (d) They both occur under...
Large quantities of thin, clear, watery mucus; alkaline What is the function of cervical fluid? Facilitates passage of sperm through cervix and leads to functional maturation of sperm (capacitation, hyperactive at head and tail) so fertilization of ovum is possible ...
Hormones are secreted from the mammalian ovary by the ovarian follicle, or vesicle, including the granulosa cells immediately surrounding the ovum, or egg, and the cells of the theca, which forms a supporting outer wall for the follicle. The main estrogen secreted is called β-estradiol. The ...
Which hormone is mainly responsible for ovulation ? View Solution The major function of corpus luteum is View Solution The main function of the fimbriae of the Fallopian tube in females is to:(a) release ovum from the graffian follicle (b) Make necessary changes in the endometrium for implan...
it stimulates release of luteinizing hormone. Luteinizing hormone stimulates the completion of maturation of the follicle and ovum. LH is also known as interstitial cell-stimulating hormone since it acts upon the interstitial cells of the testes in stimulating production of testosterone. After the matu...
