Question 1
The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis relies on pulsatile GnRH secretion from the arcuate nucleus. What frequency of GnRH pulses preferentially stimulates FSH over LH release?
Correct Answer:
Slow-frequency pulses (every 90-120 min) favor FSH release
Question 2
Which ovarian hormone, produced by the corpus luteum, is primarily responsible for maintenance of early pregnancy until the luteoplacental shift occurs?
Correct Answer:
Progesterone (luteoplacental shift ~7-10 weeks gestation when placenta takes over)
Question 3
The two-cell two-gonadotropin theory of estrogen synthesis in the ovary describes which steroidogenic pathway?
Correct Answer:
Theca cells use LH to produce androgens (testosterone, androstenedione), which diffuse to granulosa cells where FSH stimulates aromatase to convert androgens to estradiol
Question 4
Implantation of the human embryo occurs approximately how many days post-ovulation, and which endometrial window is critical?
Correct Answer:
Day 6-10 post-ovulation (implantation window, cycle days 20-24 in 28-day cycle); synchronized with secretory/luteal endometrium with pinopodes
Question 5
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by which ovarian cell type and is a biomarker of what?
Correct Answer:
Granulosa cells of preantral and small antral follicles; marker of ovarian reserve (AMH is cycle-independent and predicts ovarian response to stimulation)
