Question

6. In nonpregnant women, extremely high hypersecretion of ovarian hormones is rare. This is most likely because A. the amount of cholesterol stored in the ovary at any one time limits steroid production. B. the hormones produced by one ovary will suppress the steroid production of the other. C. high steroid hormone levels inhibit gonadotropin secretion, thus lowering steroid release. D. very high levels of estrogen produce ovarian atrophy, limiting its synthesis capacity. E. without fertilization, the corpus luteum cannot make both estrogen and progesterone

Explanation / Answer

The ovaries produce and release oocytes( eggs) into the female reproductive tract in the middle period of the each menstrual cycle. These ovaries also release the female harmones estrogen and progesterone.

In non pregnant women extremly high hypersecretion of ovarian harmones is rare because WITHOUT FERTILIZATION THE CORPUS LEUTEUM CANNOT MAKE BOTH ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE. Because in the menstrual cycle If the follicle is developed means that is able to produce the harmone oestrogen. the egg is release at the ovulation. The empty follicle that is left free is called as the corpus luteum. These releases the harmone progesterone in higher level and estrogen in lower level. Because these harmones prepare the lining of the uterus for pregnancy, when the released egg is fertilized means the harmones level is increased. If the released egg is not fertilized means the corpus luteum breaks down then the harmonal secretions are stopped. Because of the reason that these harmones will no longer present again the another cycle starts after preparative phase.
