Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Levels of LH and FSH rise dramatically during the ovulatory phase and are known as the LH surge prior to ovulation. A positive feedback mechanism occurs with regard to the menstrual cycle. The anterior pituitary gland secretes LH. Estrogen secretion minimizes FSH secretion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
During pregnancy, high levels of estrogen and progesterone produced by the placenta stimulate growth of the alveoli and ductal system to prepare them for lactation. Prolactin secretion by the anterior pituitary gland stimulates milk production during pregnancy, but this effect is inhibited by estrogen and progesterone produced by the placenta. Inhibiting effects of estrogen and progesterone stop when the placenta is expelled after birth, and active milk production occurs in response to the infant's suckling while breastfeeding. Pitocin is the hormone that causes the let-down reflex during breastfeeding.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
