What happens to the majority of the follicles during the phase from birth to puberty?
(1) They get invested by multiple layers of granulosa cells
(2) They enlarge in size and then get dormant
(3) They undergo atresia or degeneration
(4) They cluster together at one end of the ovary
Which hormone is mainly secreted by the developing follicles during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle?
(1) LH
(2) FSH
(3) Progesterone
(4) Estrogen
Corpus luteum secretes large amounts of:
(1) LH
(2) FSH
(3) Progesterone
(4) Estrogen
Consider the following two statements:
I. Not all copulations lead to fertilization and pregnancy
II. Fertilization can occur if the ovum and the sperms are simultaneously transported to the fallopian tubes.
1. Both I and II are correct and II correctly explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
Cleavage is:
(1) Dissolution of the zona pellucida
(2) A specialized mitotic division in late fetus
(3) A specialized meiotic division in late fetus
(4) A specialized mitotic division in zygote and early embryo
Morula is a solid ball of cells during early embryonic development and consists of:
(1) 4 – 8 cells
(2) 8 – 16 cells
(3) 24 – 30 cells
(4) 60 – 72 cells
The fetal body is covered with fine hair, eyelashes separate, and eyelashes are formed by the end of:
(1) 20 weeks
(2) 24 weeks
(3) 28 weeks
(4) 30 weeks
If mammalian ovum fails to get fertilized, which one of the following is unlikely -
1. Estrogen secretion further decreases
2. Progesterone secretion rapidly declines
3. Corpus luteum will disintegrate
4. Primary follicle starts developing
Menstrual bleeding is the result of
1. low levels of ovarian hormones
2. high levels of ovarian hormones
3. high levels of LH
4. high levels of FSH
