Answer:

A. Estradiol

Explanation:

Estradiol, which is also referred to as 17 beta-estradiol, is an estrogen steroid hormone. This form of estrogen is one of the major female sex hormone that plays major role in the female reproductive system such as regulation of the estrous and menstrual cycle. It also helps in regulating body metabolism.

Reduction in the level of Estradiol is one of the problems common in women approaching menopause. Optimal level of estradiol in the body helps improve fertility in the body as symptoms such as such as vaginal dryness, burning, itching that are associated with menopause are reduced to the barest minimum.

The supplement taken by Priya in order to thin the mucus and allow sperm to get through the mucus to the uterus most likely works to benefit the body by increasing <em>estradiol.</em>

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option A

ESTRADIOL

Explanation: Estradiol is also known as oestradiol.it is a female sex hormone (oestrogen),it is a steroid hormone,it regulates the estrus and menstrual female reproductive cycles.it is used by women to reduce vaginal dryness,burning and itching.Since Priya is experiencing abnormal thickness of the cervical mucus,taking estradiol will reduce the thickness/dryness and make the cervical fluid more watery/slippery to enable sperm get through the mucus to the uterus.Thickness of the cervical mucus is caused by the body making less oestrogen that is why oestrogen supplement is needed by Priya inorder to make the mucus more slippery/watery and more mobile for the sperm.

estradiol levels are measured in picograms per milliliter (pg/ml). In premenopausal females, normal estradiol levels are 30 to 400 pg/ml. In postmenopausal females, normal estradiol levels are 0 to 30 pg/ml. In males, normal estradiol levels are 10 to 50 pg/ml.

The size of the iris and pupil can change size. If you walked from a bright room into a dark room, what would happen to the size
prisoha [69]

The correct answer is B. The iris would get smaller, the pupil would get bigger.

Explanation

The iris is the name by which the colored part of the eye is known, it is located between the cornea and the lens. In the central part of the iris, there is a round opening known as the pupil. The relationship between these two parts of the eye is very important to sight because between them they control the amount of light that enters the eye. This occurs when the eye is exposed to a high amount of light, the iris muscles make the pupil smaller and the iris larger, limiting light entry into the eye. When the eye is exposed to low amounts of light or darkness, the iris becomes smaller and the pupil enlarges, allowing more light to enter. According to the above, the correct answer is B. the iris would get smaller, the pupil would get bigger. Because it describes the behavior of the iris and the pupil when going from a bright room to a dark room.
