Question 1

MATCHING
Match the hormone with the corresponding characteristics or functions.Names of hormones may be used more than once.
-Acts on seminiferous tubule Sertoli cells to promote spermatogenesis
A)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
B)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
C)Luteinizing hormone (LH)
D)Estrogen
E)Progesterone

Accepted Answer

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) acts on seminiferous tubule Sertoli cells to promote spermatogenesis in males.

Answer: C
 Luteinizing hormone (LH) also plays a role in spermatogenesis in males by stimulating Leydig cells to produce testosterone.

Question 2

Match the phrases with the corresponding terms.
-Culture
A)Cytologic exam
B)Antigen-antibody reaction
C)Hormone assay
D)Tissue sampling
E)Microbe identification

Accepted Answer

Culture is a method used to grow and identify microbes, such as bacteria or fungi, from a sample.

Question 3

Match the phrases with the corresponding terms.
-Serology
A)Cytologic exam
B)Antigen-antibody reaction
C)Hormone assay
D)Tissue sampling
E)Microbe identification

Accepted Answer

Antigen-antibody reaction is a specific type of immune response that is detected using serological testing.

Answer: C
 Hormone assay is a type of serological testing that measures the level of hormones in the blood.

Answer: E
 Microbe identification can be done through serological testing by detecting the specific antibodies produced against the microbe.

The other options (A and D) are not typically associated with serological testing.

Question 4

MATCHING
Match the hormone with the corresponding characteristics or functions.Names of hormones may be used more than once.
-Stimulates the ovary to release the ova
A)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
B)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
C)Luteinizing hormone (LH)
D)Estrogen
E)Progesterone

Accepted Answer

Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the ovary to release the ova during ovulation.

Answer: B
 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) also plays a role in ovulation by stimulating the growth and development of ovarian follicles.

Answer: D
 Estrogen is produced by the ovaries and plays a central role in the menstrual cycle, including the thickening of the uterine lining in preparation for possible pregnancy.

Answer: E
 Progesterone is produced by the ovaries and is important in preparing and maintaining the uterine lining for implantation of a fertilized egg.

Question 5

MATCHING
Match the hormone with the corresponding characteristics or functions.Names of hormones may be used more than once.
-Suppresses FSH and LH
A)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
B)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
C)Luteinizing hormone (LH)
D)Estrogen
E)Progesterone

Accepted Answer

Progesterone suppresses the release of FSH and LH by providing negative feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.

Question 6

MATCHING
Match the hormone with the corresponding characteristics or functions.Names of hormones may be used more than once.
-Acts on the Leydig cells to regulate testosterone secretion
A)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
B)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
C)Luteinizing hormone (LH)
D)Estrogen
E)Progesterone

Accepted Answer

Luteinizing hormone (LH) acts on the Leydig cells in the testes to regulate testosterone secretion.

Answer: B 
 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) also plays a role in regulating testosterone secretion, but it acts on the Sertoli cells in the testes. FSH also stimulates follicle growth in the ovaries in females.

Answer: A 
 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is released from the hypothalamus and stimulates the release of LH and FSH from the pituitary gland.

Answers D and E are not applicable to this question as they are female sex hormones and are not involved in regulating testosterone secretion in males.

Question 7

Match the phrases with the corresponding terms.
-Female fertility test
A)Cytologic exam
B)Antigen-antibody reaction
C)Hormone assay
D)Tissue sampling
E)Microbe identification

Accepted Answer

Hormone assay is a common method to test female fertility, especially to measure the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).

Answer: A 
 Cytologic exam refers to the examination of cells from the cervix and vagina to check for abnormal cells that could indicate cancers or other reproductive problems in women.

Answer: D 
 Tissue sampling may be used to examine the structure of the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes in women with suspected fertility issues.

The remaining choices (B and E) do not relate to female fertility testing specifically.

Question 8

MATCHING
Match the hormone with the corresponding characteristics or functions.Names of hormones may be used more than once.
-Stimulates growth of the endometrium and promotes effects of prolactin
A)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
B)Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
C)Luteinizing hormone (LH)
D)Estrogen
E)Progesterone

Accepted Answer

Estrogen stimulates growth of the endometrium.

Question 9

Match the phrases with the corresponding terms.
-Biopsy
A)Cytologic exam
B)Antigen-antibody reaction
C)Hormone assay
D)Tissue sampling
E)Microbe identification

Accepted Answer

A biopsy involves the removal and examination of tissue from a living body to diagnose a disease, making "Tissue sampling" the correct match.

Question 10

Match the phrases with the corresponding terms.
-Pap smear
A)Cytologic exam
B)Antigen-antibody reaction
C)Hormone assay
D)Tissue sampling
E)Microbe identification

Accepted Answer

Pap smear is a cytologic exam that screens for abnormalities in cervical cells.

Answer: B 
 Antigen-antibody reaction is generally used to diagnose infections, such as HIV or hepatitis.

Answer: C 
 Hormone assay measures the levels of certain hormones in the blood, typically to evaluate reproductive function or thyroid health.

Answer: D 
 Tissue sampling involves taking a small piece of tissue for laboratory analysis, which may be done to diagnose cancer, infections, or inflammatory conditions.

Answer: E 
 Microbe identification involves identifying the specific pathogen causing an infection, which may involve culture and sensitivity testing or molecular techniques such as PCR.
