Select all of the true statements:

a.

prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland causes milk to be produced, whereas, oxytocin from the posterior pituitary causes the let-down reflex.  

b.

The umbilical arteries carry oxygenated blood.

c.

The allantois is the main source of nutrition for the embryo and forms the earliest blood cells and blood vessels.

d.

The trophoblast gives rise to the chorion, which will be baby's portion of the placenta.

e.

The decidua basalis forms mom's portion of the placenta.

f.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the trophoblast.

g.

The umbilical cord contains two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein.

h.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is similar to LH in that it causes the corpus luteum to change into the corpus albicans which will then produce progesterone to maintain the stratum functionalis.

Expert Solution

a

Prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland causes milk to be produced, whereas, oxytocin from the posterior pituitary causes the let-down reflex.

True

Prolactin is responsible for secretion of milk.

Oxytocin is responsible to promote milk come from breast.

e

The decidua basalis forms mom's portion of the placenta.

True

The maternal part of placenta is termed as the decidua basalis

f

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the trophoblast.

True

The gonadotropin hormone is secreted by the syncytio-trophoblast in mother

g

The umbilical cord contains two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein.

True

It comprises of two arteries which are responsible to carry deoxygenated and nutrient-depleted blood, whereas, one vein carries oxygenated blood to the fetus.

h

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is similar to LH in that it causes the corpus luteum to change into the corpus albicans which will then produce progesterone to maintain the stratum functionalis.

True

Human chorionic gonadotropin provides favorable condition for development of embryo.

b

The umbilical arteries carry oxygenated blood.

False

The umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood.

c

The allantois is the main source of nutrition for the embryo and forms the earliest blood cells and blood vessels.

False

The main function of allantois is to store urinary waste and promotion of gaseous exchange.

d

The trophoblast gives rise to the chorion, which will be baby's portion of the placenta.

False

Trophoblast and the inner cell mass produce embryo.
