Question

question 3 of 20
a nurse explains the role of the ovaries. which hormones would be included in that discussion?

• estrogen and progesterone
• estrogen and progestin
• testosterone and progesterone
• estrogen and testosterone

Explanation:

The ovaries are female reproductive organs that primarily produce estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is involved in the development of female secondary sexual characteristics and the menstrual cycle, while progesterone is important for preparing the uterus for pregnancy and maintaining it. Progestin is a synthetic form of progesterone, and testosterone is mainly produced by the testes (though small amounts are in ovaries, but not the main hormones of ovaries' discussion here). So the correct option is the one with estrogen and progesterone.

Answer:

A. estrogen and progesterone
