Problem 16

Problem 17
What are the main differences in gamete production between males and females?
Problem 18
Describe the erectile tissues of the penis. How does erection occur?
Problem 19
Describe each of the three phases of a typical 28-day uterine cycle.
Problem 20
Describe the hormonal events associated with the ovarian cycle.

Problem 24
Diane has peritonitis (an inflammation of the peritoneum), which her physician says resulted from a urinary tract infection. Why might this condition occur more readily in females than in males?
Problem 25
In a condition known as endometriosis, endometrial cells are believed to migrate from the body of the uterus into the uterine tubes or by way of the uterine tubes into the peritoneal cavity, where they become established. A major symptom of endometriosis is periodic pain. Why does such pain occur?
Problem 26
Birth control pills contain estradiol and progesterone, or progesterone alone, administered at programmed doses during the ovarian cycle to prevent tertiary ovarian follicle maturation and ovulation. Explain how such pills are effective.
Problem 27
Female bodybuilders and women with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa commonly experience amenorrhea. What does this fact suggest about the relationship between body fat and menstruation? What effect would amenorrhea have on achieving a successful pregnancy?
