Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Thus, continuous exposure to progesterone inhibits endometrial development. Eventually, the combined continuous estrogen-progesterone therapy (CCEPT) results in no bleeding. It can be associated with irregular bleeding and spotting until the lining becomes atrophic. It relieves cramps rather than generating them.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, C, F

Feedback:

LH, FSH, and GnRH are all components of the hypothalamic-pituitary control of spermatogenesis. ACTH, cortisol, and somatostatin are not directly involved in the process.
