MODULE 6
Answer the following questions.
• Explain two reasons why a woman with low levels of LH would not be able to
become pregnant.
(1) LH acts on the ovary to cause ovulation to occur. (2) LH causes progesterone release to
facilitate potential fertilization of the egg and pregnancy. Progesterone is a key hormone
for the maintenance of pregnancy.
• Would you expect a male to have estrogen in their bloodstream? Explain why or why
not.
• Yes. Both male and female bodies produce “all” the sex hormones. However, the
ratios are different.
• The adrenal glands are largely responsible for producing this “opposite” hormone
that the testis would not.
1. Explain two reasons why a woman with low levels of LH would not be able to become
pregnant.
LH, luteinizing hormone, stimulates the ovaries in females. Low levels of LH can indicate a
problem with the ovaries. This can result in problems with ovulation. Low levels of LH can also
indicate a problem with the pituitary gland, which is the master gland that produces LH.
