Estrogen is secreted by 

  1. Corpus albicans

  2. Corpus callosum

  3. Corpus luteum

  4. Cells of Graafian follicles


Correct Option: C,D
Explanation:

Estrogens are produced primarily by the ovaries. They are released by the Graafian follicles on the ovaries and are also secreted by the corpus luteum after the egg has been released from the follicle and from the placenta. 

Estrogen is secreted by 

  1. Liver

  2. Spleen

  3. Ovaries

  4. Pituitary


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Estrogen is the female sex hormone which is secreted by developing follicles in the ovary. Secretion of gonadotropins during the follicular phase of ovarian cycle stimulate growth and development of follicles. These developing follicles secrete estrogen. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Which one is a female sex hormone?

  1. Estrogen

  2. Progesterone

  3. Estradiol

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There are two major female sex hormones: estrogen and progesterone. Both of these are steroid hormones. In women, most estradiol is released from the ovaries and adrenal glands. It is also released by the placenta during pregnancy.

Feminizing hormone is 

  1. Glucagon

  2. Gastrin

  3. Oestrogen

  4. Androgens


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The primary function of oestrogen is the development of the female body and secondary sexual characteristics. These include breasts, endometrium, regulation of the menstrual cycle etc. They are present in significantly higher amounts in women after menarche (onset of menstrual periods at puberty) until menopause (cessation of menstrual periods after completion of reproductive age). Hence, oestrogen is a feminizing hormone.

Which part of the ovary in mammals acts as an endocrine gland after ovulation?

B. Prolactin, also known as lactogenic hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. This hormones stimulates the production of milk in mammary glands during pregnancy.
C. Estrogen is the female sex hormone secreted from ovarian follicles and stimulate the development of female secondary sex organs.
D. Gonadotropin releasing factor or hormone (GnRH) is secreted from hypothalamus and stimulates the release of Luteinizing hormone and Follicle stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary.
Hence, if both the ovaries are removed from rat, then estrogen is decreased in the blood.
So, the correct answer is 'Estrogen'.

Due to deficiency of which hormone, bones become weak in females?

  1. Progesterone

  2. TSH

  3. ACTH

  4. Oestrogen


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Oestrogen is a female sex hormone secreted from ovarian follicles. It stimulates development of secondary sex organs and sexual characters in females. After menopause, oestrogen secretion is decreased in females which leads to osteoporosis. It is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle due to dissolution of calcium. Due to oestrogen deficiency, osteoclasts i.e. cells that breakdown bones, stay for longer period of time in body and hence cause dissolution of calcium from the bones. Due to this, bones become weak and fragile.
So, the correct answer is 'Oestrogen'

Example of sex hormones secreted by ovary is

  1. FSH and LH

  2. FSH, LH and progesterone

  3. Progesterone and oestrogen

  4. FSH, LH, progesterone and oestrogen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

At puberty, hypothalamus releases gonadotrohphin releasing hormone (GnRH) which stimulates the anterior pituitary gland. the latter secrete the FSH/LH from the anterior pituitary gland.

FSH- Stimulate the growth of graffian follicle, maturation of ovum, secretion of estrogen by follicle cells. Estrogen, or oestrogen, is the primary female sex hormone. It is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.

LH- The luteinising hormone stimulates release of ovum( ovulation), formation of corpus luteum in the empty follicle and secretion of progesterone from the corpus luteum. Progesterone suspends ovulation during pregnancy, maintains foetal connection with the uterine wall and controls development of foetus in the uterus. If fertilization fails, means no pregnancy so progesterone level decreases to restart the process of ovulation.

So, the correct answer is 'Progesterone and estrogen'.

  1. Myasthenia gravis

  2. Tetany

  3. Osteoporosis

  4. Gout


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak and brittle due to dissolution of calcium. Due to oestrogen deficiency, osteoclasts i.e. cells that breakdown bones, stay for longer period of time in body and hence cause dissolution of calcium from the bones. Due to this, bones become weak and fragile. After menopause, oestrogen secretion is decreased in females which leads to osteoporosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Osteoporosis'.

In uterus, endometrium proliferates in response to

  1. Relaxin

  2. Oxytocin

  3. Progesterone

  4. Oestrogen

  5. LH


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The FSH stimulates the follicle cells to secrete estrogen a female sex organ.

It stimulates the uterus to prepare for the implantation and nourishment of the foetus likely to arrive after ovulation. The wall of the uterus, relatively thin in the beginning of the cycle, progressively becomes thick by greater development of its smooth muscle layer, the myometrium, and proliferation of its epithelial lining, the endometrium.
So, the correct answer is 'Oestrogen'.

Which one controls the secretion of estrogen?

  1. hCG

  2. Progesterone

  3. LH

  4. FSH


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
A. hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is secreted from placenta and maintains corpus luteum. 
B. Progesterone is a steroid female sex hormone which is also known as pregnancy hormone. It maintains the inner lining of uterus which aids in implantation of embryo in the uterus. 
C. Luteinizing hormone or LH stimulates growth of ovarian follicles in females. In males this hormone is called interstitial cell stimulating hormone or ICSH and affects the Leydig cells of testes.
D. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted from the anterior part of pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in females.
Estrogen is a female sex hormone secreted from ovarian follicles which are influenced by FSH.
So, the correct answer is 'FSH'.

The failure of estrogens results in eunuchoidism.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

female eunuchoidism is the case in which the ovaries fail to function at puberty, resulting in infertility, the absence of development of secondary sex characteristics, infantile sexual organs, and excessive growth of the long bones. This is caused by the reduced amount of estrogens or inability of receptors for estrogens to respond. 

So, the correct option is 'True'.

State whether the following statements are true or false .
In primates, the condition of the failure of testes to descend in the scrotal sac is known as cryptorchidism.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Cryptorchidism occurs when one or both of the testicles do not descend into the scrotum while the fetus is developing. Undescended testicles may be palpable or unpalpable. Palpable means that a doctor will be able to feel the undescended testicle during a physical examination. About 80 per cent of undescended testicles is palpable. The testicle is usually located at the end of the inguinal canal, a channel that carries the spermatic cord towards the penis and scrotum.
So the correct option is 'True'.

A decrease in level of oestrogen and progesterone causes

  1. Loss of endometrium

  2. Growth of dilation of endometrium

  3. Release of ova from ovaries

  4. Constriction of uterine blood vessels leading to sloughing of uterine epithelium


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Estrogen:  a group of sex hormones that promote the development and maintenance of female characteristics in the human body.
  • Progesterone:  endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and embryogenesis of humans. It is often called as the "pregnancy hormone".
Oestrogen and progesterone hormones mainly help to maintain pregnancy. A decreased level of both the hormone causes constriction of uterine blood vessels leading to sloughing of the endometrium or uterine epithelium in the menstrual period.

So, the correct answer is "Constriction of uterine blood vessels leading to sloughing of uterine epithelium".

Decreased levels of estrogen is a common cause for

  1. myasthenia gravis

  2. tetany

  3. osteoporosis

  4. gout


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Estrogen protects bones, so if one has low estrogen level, she is more at risk for developing osteoporosis.
So, the correct option is 'Osteoporosis'.

The female hormone that causes deposition of fat in the breast, and hips and the growth of pubic hairs during puberty is

  1. Estrogen

  2. Progesterone

  3. Luteinizing hormone

  4. Follicle-stimulating hormone


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Estrogen, or oestrogen, is the primary female sex hormone. It is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. Estrogens are responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics during puberty, including breast development, widening of the hips, and female fat distribution. Estrogen, in conjunction with growth hormone and its secretory product insulin-like growth factor 1  is critical in mediating breast development during puberty.

So the correct option is 'estrogen'.

Ovulation is controlled mainly by .............. hormone.

  1. Estrogen

  2. Progesterone

  3.  Luteinizing hormone

  4. Prolactin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Ovulation is the release of eggs from the ovaries. In humans, this event occurs when the ovarian follicles rupture and release the secondary oocyte ovarian cells.
  • The process of ovulation is controlled by the hypothalamus of the brain and through the release of hormones secreted in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
  • Hence Ovulation is controlled mainly by luteinizing hormone.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Luteinizing hormone'.
