Angela is curious about how Clomid works to stimulate her ovaries. Her doctor told her that this drug works by "tricking the bra

in into thinking that the levels of estrogen in the body are low." Which of the following statements help explain why this would lead to a stimulation of the ovaries?
a. Clomid is a drug that inhibits the effect of FSH stimulating follicle development in the ovaries
b. Clomid prevents estrogen from exerting negative feedback, so LH and FSH levels remain high and continue to stimulate the ovaries
c. Clomid produces strong negative feedback on the brain, which leads to a drop in FSH and LH levels.
d. Clomid blocks the effect of FSH on the ovaries. The ovaries respond by increasing their production of estrogen.

Answer:

b. Clomid prevents estrogen from exerting negative feedback, so LH and FSH levels remain high and continue to stimulate the ovaries

Explanation:

Clomifene, also known by its commercial name Clomid, is a drug used to stimulate ovulation, and therefore used in fertility treatment. Clomid is a drug that works on estrogen receptors in order to stimulate the secretion of gonadotrophin by the pituitary gland, and by blocking negative feedback of estrogen steroid hormones (estradiol), thereby increasing the concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). A high FSH concentration leads to the growth of ovarian follicles, whose rupture results in ovulation.

1. What is a biogeochemical cycle?
Alla [95]

Answer:

1. In ecology and Earth science, a biogeochemical  cycle or substance turnover or cycling of substances is a pathway by which a chemical substance moves through biotic and abiotic compartments of Earth.

2. The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Rising vapor cools and condenses into clouds.

3. Heated by sunshine, the ground heats the air just above it. That warmed air starts to rise because, when warm, it is lighter and less dense than the air around it. As it rises, its pressure and temperature drop causing water vapor to condense. ... The air cools as it rises, and eventually clouds form.
