Sample Female Reproductive Physiology MCQs with answers
Sample MCQ #1
Positive feedback action of estrogen for inducing luteinizing hormone. Surge is associated with which of the following steroid hormone ratios in peripheral circulation.
AHigh estrogen: low Progesterone
BLow estrogen: high Progesterone
CLow estrogen: low Progesterone
DHigh estrogen: high Progesterone
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: A. High estrogen: low Progesterone
High estrogen causes LH surge LH surge happens before ovulation Before ovulation, progesterone levels are low Reference: Ganong, 25th edition Page no.403
Sample MCQ #2
Ovulation is associated with sudden rise in-
AProlactin
BTestosterone
CLH
DOxytocin
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: C. LH
A Surge of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Is Necessary for Ovulation Exactly around 24-36 hrs before ovulation, estrogen increases the levels of LH. This is an example for a positive feedback This LH surge brings about ovulation Reference: Ganong, 25th edition Page no.403
Sample MCQ #3
The hormone that plays permissive role in the attainment of puberty is
AGnRH
BLeptin
CInsulin
DGrowth hormone
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: B. Leptin
Hormone produced by adipose cells termed leptin signals the adequate body stores to center and aids the GnRH pulsatile release Leptin plays a permissive role during initiation of puberty Reference: Ganong, 25th edition Page no.396
Sample MCQ #4
There is a mid-cycle shift in the basal body temperature (BBT) after ovulation in Women. This is caused by-
AFSH-peak
BLH-peak
CEstradiol
DProgesterone
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. Progesterone
Progesterone is thermogenic. It is responsible for increase in basal body temperature around ovulation Reference: Ganong, 25th edition Page no.406
Sample MCQ #5
Estrogen Beta receptors are found on-
AUterus
BBlood Vessels
COvary
DVagina
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: C. Ovary
ER-α-highly expressed in ovary, uterus, vagina, mammary glands, hypothalamus ER-β-expressed in ovary and prostate Reference: Ganong, 25th edition Page no.406
Sample MCQ #6
Ductules in breast develop due to action of?
AProgesterone
BEstrogen
CActivin
DAll of the above
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: B. Estrogen
Estrogen promotes the growth of ductal system Progesterone promotes the growth of lobulo alveolar system Reference: Ganong, 25th edition Page no.414
Sample MCQ #7
Following pubertal changes is not due to estrogen-
AVaginal cornification
BPublic and axillary hair growth
CCervical mucus production
DMenstruation
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: B. Public and axillary hair growth
Public and axillary hair growth is because of adrenal androgen secretion Reference: Ganong, 25th edition Page no.416
Sample MCQ #8
True about estrogen production in menstrual cycle.
AOnly by theca cells
BOnly by granulosa cells
CBoth theca and granulosa cells
DNone of the above
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: B. Only by granulosa cells
Estrogen is produced only by granulosa cells The theca interna cells supply androstenedione to the granulosa cells Granulosa cells convert this androstenedione to estradiol with the help of an enzyme "aromatase" Reference: Ganong, 25th edition Page no.414
