Question 10

After months of timing intercourse during the peak of ovulation a couple has been unsuccessful in getting pregnant.After consulting with her physician the woman discovered that her anterior pituitary is not secreting the normal levels of hormones and she is not ovulating on the correct day of her cycle.What is the best explanation for why she is not able to become pregnant?

Accepted Answer

A)  The anterior pituitary produces FSH which in turn will cause the development of a follicle that will secrete estrogen and progesterone.The estrogen triggers the hypothalamus to release GnRH which leads to a surge in the production of progesterone.This is the hormone that will trigger ovulation on the 14th day of the cycle.If the anterior pituitary is not producing the correct amounts of FSH then the ovaries will not be able to maintain the production of the egg.
B)  The anterior pituitary produces FSH which in turn will cause the development of a follicle that will secrete estrogen and progesterone.The estrogen triggers the hypothalamus to release GnRH which leads to a surge in the production of LH.This is the hormone that will trigger ovulation on the 14th day of the cycle.If the anterior pituitary is not producing the correct amounts of FSH then the entire cascade of events will not occur properly.
C)  The anterior pituitary produces GnRH which in turn will cause the development of a follicle that will secrete estrogen and progesterone.The estrogen triggers the hypothalamus to release FSH which leads to a surge in the production of LH.This is the hormone that will trigger ovulation on the 14th day of the cycle.If the anterior pituitary is not producing the correct amounts of GnRH then the entire cascade of events will not occur properly.
D)  The posterior pituitary produces FSH which in turn will cause the development of a follicle that will secrete estrogen and progesterone.The estrogen triggers the hypothalamus to release GnRH which leads to a surge in the production of LH.This is the hormone that will trigger ovulation on the 14th day of the cycle.If the posterior pituitary is not producing the correct amounts of FSH then the entire cascade of events will not occur properly.
E)  The anterior pituitary produces FSH which in turn will cause the development of a follicle that will secrete estrogen and progesteronE.The estrogen triggers the posterior pituitary to release GnRH which leads to a surge in the production of LH.This is the hormone that will trigger ovulation on the 14th day of the cyclE.If the anterior pituitary is not producing the correct amounts of FSH then the entire cascade of events will not occur properly.F) All of the above
G) B) and E)
