Questions Related to regulation of the menstrual cycle

When the levels of progesterone fall in a human female, which event is expected to occur ?

  1. The endometrial lining will thicken.

  2. The ovum will emerge from the ovary.

  3. The endometrial lining will slough off.

  4. The ovarian follicle will develop around the ovum.

  5. The levels of FSH and LH will peak.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
When the level of progesterone fall in human female, primary follicles grow in the ovary and outer two thirds of endometrium shed off.
So, the correct answer is 'The endometrial lining will slough off'.

  1. 1, 2, 3 correct

  2. 1, 2 correct

  3. 2, 4 correct

  4. 1, 3 correct

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Menstrual cycle starts with the menstrual flow followed by the follicle phase. During the follicular phase levels of gonadotropins (FSH and LH) increase and also the levels of estrogen increase. This rapid secretion of LH and FSH leads to LH surge and hence ovulation. After the ovulation luteal phase is accompanied by the formation of Corpus luteum. The Corpus luteum is responsible for the secretions of progesterone. 
So,  the correct option is '1, 3 correct'.

Disintegration of corpus luteum occurs due to inhibition of secretion of ............ hormone.

  1. LTH

  2. FSH

  3. Progesterone

  4. LH

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Corpus luteum is responsible for higher levels of progesterone whereas LH is responsible for its persistence. As soon as the level of LH decreases, degeneration of corpus luteum takes place. FSH does not play any significant role in the regression of corpus luteum whereas LTH does not have any role in the menstrual cycle.

So, the correct option is 'LH'.

GnRH secreted from hypothalamus mainly stimulates the release of

  1. Thyroxin from thyroid gland

  2. ADH from posterior pituitary

  3. FSH and LH from anterior pituitary

  4. Aldosterone from adrenals

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

GnRH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the two gonadotropins—luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)—by the anterior pituitary gland. In order to increase serum gonadotropin concentrations in patients with GnRH deficiency, the releasing hormone must be administered in pulses.
So the correct option is ' FSH and LH from anterior pituitary'.

Which of the following is not a function of progesterone?

  1. Gestation

  2. Inhibition of ovulation

  3. Uterine growth and development

  4. Stimulation of mammary secretion.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:


Progesterone is the ovarian hormone which helps in the development of mammary glands but not the secretion of mammary glands.
So the correct option is 'Stimulation of mammary secretion.’

Estrogen is secreted by-

  1. Primary follicle

  2. Graafian follicle

  3. Corpus luteum

  4. Both (2) & (3)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A primary follicle is surrounded by single or several layers of cuboidal, granulosa cells. It is an immature ovarian follicle. Based on the number of granulosa cell layers, the developing ovarian follicles can be categorised into three classes: primary follicles, secondary follicles, and early tertiary follicles.

So, the correct option is 'Primary follicle'.

FSH was administered to a group of rats who had their anterior glands removed.Compared with the control group of normal rats,which of the following events did NOT takes places in the experiment animals?

  1. Proliferation of the endometrium

  2. Maturation of a Graafian follicle

  3. Development of the corpos luteum

  4. Build - up of oestrogen in the blood stream

Correct Option: A

Mainly which type of hormones control the menstrual cycle in human beings?

Correct Option: C

Which of the following events occur if fertilisation do not takes place. 

biology coordination hormonal control of menstrual cycle regulation of the menstrual cycle life processes in living organisms- part 2

  1. Secretion of progesterone hormone increase

  2. Secretion of estrogen hormone stops

  3. Uterus inner wall layer and unfertilised egg will shed off

  4. Uterus inner wall increased and unfertilised egg will shed off

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If the egg is fertilised by a sperm as it travels down the Fallopian tube, then pregnancy occurs. 

But if the egg does not because fertilised, then the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is shed during ht mensuration.
Hence, the uterus inner wall and unfertilised egg will shed off if no fertilisation occurs.
