- Q1What is the primary male sex hormone?ProgesteroneGnRHEstrogenAndrogen30s
- Q2What is the primary female sex hormone?Estrogen, critical for female reproductive health and secondary traitsLH, which stimulates ovulation during the menstrual cycleAndrogen, present in both sexes but higher in malesTestosterone, essential for male characteristics and sperm production30s
- Q3What system regulates the production of sex hormones?Nervous system, which processes sensory input and controls movementsDigestive system, involved in breaking down and absorbing nutrientsEndocrine system, which uses hormones to regulate body functionsCirculatory system, responsible for transporting blood and oxygen30s
- Q4Where does the regulation of reproductive function begin?Brain, where key hormonal signals for reproduction are initiatedLiver, involved in detoxification and metabolism processesKidneys, which filter waste from the blood and form urineHeart, the organ pumping blood throughout the body30s
- Q5Which structure in the brain produces GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone)?Pituitary gland, which releases multiple stimulating hormonesAdrenal glands, which produce stress-related hormones like cortisolThyroid gland, which regulates metabolic rates and energy levelsHypothalamus, which signals the pituitary gland to release GnRH30s
- Q6What is the role of GnRH in hormone regulation?To initiate the release of gonadotropins that act on gonadsTo increase the heart rate during physical activityTo directly produce sex hormones like testosterone and estrogenTo stimulate the pancreas to regulate blood sugar levels30s
- Q7What are gonadotropins?Hormones from the liver that regulate nutrient metabolismReproductive hormones that influence ovaries and testiclesEnzymes that facilitate the breakdown of hormone moleculesImmune system agents involved in defending against pathogens30s
- Q8How is GnRH delivered to the pituitary gland?Through the lymphatic system transporting fluid and immune cellsThrough the bloodstream, as part of the circulatory pathwayVia nerve signals transmitted from the hypothalamusThrough a specialized portal system called the hypophyseal portal30s
- Q9Which of the following is also known as the hypophysis?Adrenal gland, which produces adrenaline and cortisolPituitary gland, a critical endocrine gland at the brain's baseThyroid gland, which produces hormones to regulate metabolismHypothalamus, a region controlling hormones and body functions30s
- Q10What triggers the pituitary gland to release gonadotropins?Estrogen, when its levels peak during the menstrual cycleGnRH, a hormone from the hypothalamus activating the pituitaryAndrogen, which signals male reproductive processesBlood sugar levels, when they rise above normal thresholds30s
- Q11In females, gonadotropins primarily stimulate which organ?Ovaries, to promote ovulation and hormone productionPancreas, to regulate glucose and insulin levelsAdrenal glands, which release hormones like adrenalineTesticles, for sperm and hormone production30s
- Q12In males, gonadotropins primarily stimulate which organ?Thyroid gland, which controls the body’s metabolic processesHypothalamus, which initiates signals for hormone productionTesticles, to promote sperm production and hormone releaseProstate, which produces fluid to nourish sperm30s
- Q13What is the main purpose of gonadotropins?To assist in breaking down and absorbing nutrientsTo maintain normal blood pressure levels in the bodyTo activate reproductive organs for gamete productionTo increase metabolic rates during physical activity30s
- Q14Which hormone is responsible for signaling the start of the hormonal cascade in reproduction?Testosterone, crucial for male physical and reproductive developmentProgesterone, which maintains uterine lining during pregnancyGnRH, which triggers downstream hormone release for reproductionLH, which stimulates ovulation and hormone secretion30s
- Q15What is the name of the gland that is located at the base of the brain and interacts with the hypothalamus?Pituitary gland, an endocrine gland central to hormone releasePineal gland, which regulates sleep-wake cycles using melatoninThyroid gland, which produces hormones to control metabolismAdrenal gland, which releases hormones in response to stress30s
