Which of the following situations would be considered pathological in an otherwise healthy, 30-year-old female?
A)
The woman's ovaries are not producing new ova.
B)
The woman's ovaries do not synthesize or secrete luteinizing hormone (LH).
C)
The epithelium covering the woman's ovaries is broken during the time of ovulation.
D)
The woman's ovaries are not producing progesterone.
Ans:
D
Feedback:
As the number of ova within an ovary is fixed at birth and decreases over time, a lack of production of ova is normal. The epithelial lining is normally broken during ovulation, and the LH is produced by the pituitary gland. A lack of progesterone would be considered pathological.
