Correct Option: A

During proliferative phase uterine wall undergoes certain changes, these are _________________.

biology the age of adolescence menstruation in females changes at puberty what happens if an egg is not fertilized?

  1. Myometrium wall is sloughed off

  2. Endometrium wall is sloughed off

  3. Blood vessels in endometrium become long and coiled

  4. Proliferation of myometrial epithelial lining

Show answer

Explanation:

During the proliferative phase, the endometrium of the uterus becomes thicker as blood vessels become long and coiled.

So, the correct answer is C.

Which of the following statements concerning menopause is correct?

biology the age of adolescence menstruation in females changes at puberty what happens if an egg is not fertilized?

  1. Menopause occurs because all of the female's follicles become hormone-producing corpus luteum at once

  2. Menopausal symptoms are a result of decrease in the production of FSH and LH

  3. The onset of menopause is primarily due to follicle atresia

  4. All of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Follicular atresia means degeneration of follicles. Thus, if all follicles get degenerated at the age of 45-50 years, there will be no ovulation and hence no menstruation which leads to menopause.

biology the age of adolescence menstruation in females changes at puberty what happens if an egg is not fertilized?

  1. Maintenance of the hypertrophical endometrial lining

  2. Maintenance of high concentration of sex-hormones in the blood stream

  3. Retention of well-developed corpus luteum

  4. Fertilisation of the ovum

Show answer
Correct Option: D

Repair of endometrium is undertaken by _________.

biology the age of adolescence menstruation in females changes at puberty what happens if an egg is not fertilized?

  1. LH

  2. FSH

  3. Estrogen

  4. Prolactin

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Estrogen secreted from ovarian follicles under the influence of FSH causes the proliferation of the endometrium of the uterine wall.

So, The correct answer is C.

Though the total number of follicles in the ovaries of a normal young woman is about 4,00,00. The duration between menarche and menopause is limited. This is attributed to the

biology the age of adolescence menstruation in females changes at puberty what happens if an egg is not fertilized?

  1. Follicular atresia

  2. Liquor folliculi

  3. Follicular proliferation

  4. Follicular plasticity

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Follicular atresia is the breakdown of the ovarian follicles, which consist of an oocyte surrounded by granulosa cells and internal and external theca cells. This is the reason, the female born with more than 4,00,000 eggs have a limited period between menarche and menopause.

So, the correct option is 'Follicular atresia'

  1. Menopause

  2. Menarche

  3. Diapause

  4. None of the above

A $55$ years old female was analyzed for her hormonal status. Some hormones are increased in blood and excreted in urine. These hormones are

biology the age of adolescence menstruation in females changes at puberty what happens if an egg is not fertilized?

  1. Estrogen, progesterone and $FSH$

  2. Progesterone and $LH$

  3. $LH$ and $FSH$

  4. Estrogen and $FSH$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In females, the post-reproductive phase of menopause begins from the age of 45 years approximately. In this phase, the primary follicles are not available that can be developed under the effect of FSH. When follicles do not develop, ovulation cannot occur under the effect of LH. There is no corpus luteum formed, so there will be no progesterone. As there is no progesterone, the endometrium stops building up. Due to this, there are no menses occurring. Since FSH and LH are released by the pituitary gland, they would be un-used and excreted in urine.

Hence, the correct answer is 'LH and FSH'
