Match the following reproductive hormones with their primary function: Estrogen | Prepares the endometrium for pregnancy; Progesterone | Promotes follicular growth; LH | Regulates spermatogenesis; FSH | Stimulates testosterone production
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for a matching exercise between reproductive hormones and their primary functions. The goal is to correctly identify which hormone corresponds to each given function.
Answer
Estrogen: Prepares endometrium; Progesterone: Uterine lining maintenance; LH: Ovulation, corpus luteum development; FSH: Follicular growth.
Estrogen prepares the endometrium for pregnancy; Progesterone maintains the uterine lining for pregnancy and regulates the menstrual cycle; LH stimulates ovulation and development of the corpus luteum; FSH promotes follicular growth and maturation in ovaries.
Answer for screen readers
Estrogen prepares the endometrium for pregnancy; Progesterone maintains the uterine lining for pregnancy and regulates the menstrual cycle; LH stimulates ovulation and development of the corpus luteum; FSH promotes follicular growth and maturation in ovaries.
More Information
Estrogen and progesterone are vital for preparing and maintaining the uterus for pregnancy. LH and FSH are critical in ovulation and the menstrual cycle, influencing fertility.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the roles of LH and FSH. Remember: FSH is primarily for growth of ovarian follicles, while LH prompts ovulation.
