Hormone secretion is often regulated through a negative feedback mechanism, which means that once a hormone is secreted it will

cause the hypothalamus and pituitary to shut down the production of signals necessary to secrete the hormone in the first place. Most oral contraceptives are made of small doses of estrogen and/or progesterone. Why would this be an effective means of contraception?

Answer:

Oral contraceptives inhibit the secretion of gonadotropins by inhibiting the secretion of GnRH through a negative feedback mechanism.

Explanation:

Most oral contraceptive pills have combined dosages of estrogen and progesterone or one of these hormones. The estrogen and progesterone are involved in negative feedback inhibition of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Presence of small dosages of estrogen and progesterone inhibit the secretion of GnRH and thereby, prevents the secretion of gonadotropins (LH and FSH).  

FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) is required for maturation of follicles while LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is required for ovulation of mature follicle.  

Hence, hormonal contraceptives prevent conception by preventing follicle development and ovulation due to the absence of gonadotropins (FSH and LH).

Explain why it makes sense that the levels of estrogen and progesterone are low in blood of a female during menstruation
valina [46]

Answer:

At the beginning of the follicular phase, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is thick with fluids and nutrients designed to nourish an embryo. If no egg has been fertilized, estrogen and progesterone levels are low. As a result, the top layers of the endometrium are shed, and menstrual bleeding occurs.

We are pretending that I am testing to see if Vitamin C cures ashy skin. You must write out EVERY step of the study that I must
denpristay [2]

Answer: Independent variable is the Vitamin C and the ashy skin is the dependent variable.

Explanation:

We can change or manipulate the independent variable of the reaction and such change can be observed on the dependent variable. The dependent variable yields the results of the experiment and changes in the dependent variable must be observed attentively to frame the results.

Here, vitamin C is the independent variable whose affect has to be observed on the ashy skin which is the dependent variable of the experiment. Steps of the experiment:

1. We can apply Vitamin C in a form of solution on the ashy skin.

2. Observe the changes on the skin directly and apply for 2-3 times in a day.

3. Observe the changes on the skin after a week.
