103. What is meant by the negative feedback loop for females and for males? How does it operate? Describe its similarities and
differences between females and males.
The negative feedback loop regulates the production of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone in females and testosterone
in males. It is also known as the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis. In males, the pituitary’s production of luteinizing
hormone (LH) stimulates the testes to produce testosterone. When testosterone levels are high, the hypothalamus reduces its
production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which causes the pituitary to reduce the production of LH, consequently
decreasing production of testosterone by the testes. When testosterone levels fall, the hypothalamus increases the production of
GnRH and the process starts again.
In females, the negative feedback loop functions in a similar fashion and the levels of estrogen and progesterone are regulated by
hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovaries.

104. Describe the process of sex differentiation of the gonads of males and females.
In the 7th week after conception, the sex chromosomes direct the gonads to begin differentiation. In males, the undifferentiated
gonad develops into a testis at about 7 weeks. In females, the process occurs somewhat later, with the ovaries developing at
around 13 or 14 weeks. An important gene that directs the differentiation of the gonads,
located on the Y chromosome, is called sex-determining region, Y chromosome (SRY). If SRY is present, it causes the
manufacture of a substance called testis-determining factor (TDF), which makes the gonads differentiate into testes, and male
development occurs. The X chromosome carries genes that control normal functioning of the ovaries. Surprisingly, a number of
genes on the X chromosome also affect cells in the testes that manufacture sperm.

105. Describe the role of the Müllerian ducts and the Wolffian ducts in the female and the male, respectively.
The Müllerian ducts and the Wolffian ducts are both related to the process of prenatal sexual differentiation. Once the gonads
have differentiated into testes and ovaries in the male and female respectively, these organs begin to produce different sex
hormones which direct the differentiation of the rest of the internal and external genital system. The Müllerian ducts and the
Wolffian ducts are found in both males and females, however, in females, the Wolffian ducts degenerate, and the Müllerian ducts
turn into the fallopian tubes, the uterus, and the upper part of the vagina. In the case of males, the opposite occurs. The testes
secrete the Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS), which causes the Müllerian ducts to degenerate, while the Wolffian ducts turn
into the epididymis, the vas deferens, and the ejaculatory duct.

First, one or both testes may fail to descend into the scrotum by the time of birth, a condition known as undescended testes, or
cryptorchidism. This condition occurs in about 3 percent of all males. Most frequently, only one testis is undescended, and the

spontaneously, however, the condition is usually corrected by surgery. The optimum time for doing this is soon after the first
birthday. Otherwise, if both testes fail to descend, the man will be sterile, because the high temperature of the testes inside the
body inhibits the production of sperm. Undescended testes are also more likely to develop cancer. The second possible problem
occurs when the inguinal canal does not close off completely. It may then reopen later in life, creating a passageway through
which loops of the intestine can enter the scrotum. This condition, called inguinal hernia, can be remedied by simple surgery.

107. Explain homologous and analogous organs. Give at least two examples of each.
Homologous organs refer to the organs in the male and the female that develop from the same embryonic tissue.
Analogous organs, on the other hand, are the organs in the male and the female that have similar functions.
Examples of homologous organs include the testes in males and the ovaries in females, both of which develop from the gonads.
The glans penis in males and the clitoris in females are also homologous to one another in that they both develop from the genital
tubercle. The testes and the ovaries, and the glans penis and the clitoris are also examples of analogous organs as they perform
similar functions. The testes and the ovaries are both responsible for producing sex hormones, while both the glans penis and the
clitoris play important roles in producing sexual arousal.

108. Compare the two intersex conditions of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and androgen-insensitivity syndrome (AIS).
In congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a genetic female develops ovaries normally as a fetus, but later in the course of prenatal
development, the adrenal gland begins to function abnormally and produces an excess amount of androgens. Prenatal sexual
differentiation then does not follow the normal female course. As a result, the external genitals are partly or completely male in
appearance—the labia are partly or totally fused so there is no vaginal opening, and the clitoris is enlarged to the size of a small
or full-sized penis.
In androgen-insensitivity syndrome (AIS), a genetic male produces normal levels of testosterone, but as a result of a genetic
condition, the body tissues are insensitive to the testosterone and prenatal development is feminized. The individual is born with
the external appearance of a female: a small vagina (but no uterus) and undescended testes.

109. Changes that occur to the body during puberty are sometimes difficult for adolescents in the American society. Why are they
difficult and what would you suggest as possible solutions to some of the problems?
Unlike in other parts of the world where puberty rites are performed to signify an adolescent’s passage to adulthood, in American
culture, an individual’s entry into puberty is not given any formal recognition. In the absence of such rituals, a person may think
that his or her body is doing strange things, making puberty a particularly difficult time. This problem can be overcome by
providing timely education to adolescents about their bodies and the changes that will take place.

The most common menstrual problem is painful menstruation, called dysmenorrhea. Symptoms of this may include cramping
pains in the pelvic region, headaches, backaches, nausea, and a feeling of pressure and bloating in the pelvis. Dysmenorrhea is
caused by prostaglandins, hormonelike substances produced by many tissues of the body, including the lining of the uterus.
These prostaglandins can cause smooth muscles to contract and can affect the size of the blood vessels. Women with severe
menstrual pain have unusually high levels of prostaglandins which cause intense uterine contractions and choke off some of the
supply of oxygen-carrying blood to the uterus.
Prostaglandins may also cause greater sensitivity in nerve endings. The combination of the uterine contractions, lack of oxygen,
and heightened nerve sensitivity produces menstrual cramps.

111. Do women’s moods change over the menstrual cycle? Explain your choice of answer.
The great majority of women do not experience menstrual cycle fluctuations in mood, but a small percentage may.
In one study, the researchers collected data from a random sample of Canadian women daily for 6 months. The results were
surprising. No positive mood items showed cycle fluctuations. Only 2 negative mood items, sadness and irritability, showed
significant variations across the cycle. Irritability was greater both premenstrually and during menses, compared with midcycle.
Notice that greater irritability was not just premenstrual, challenging the basic concept of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Sadness
was greater premenstrually, but it was more strongly associated with stress, physical health, and social support than it was with
cycle phase. According to this study, there is no scientific evidence of PMS, although there are plenty of stereotypes about it.
That said, it may be that a small percentage of women do experience PMS. Averaging across data from a random sample of
women, there are too few with PMS to produce average mood fluctuations.

112. Discuss the biological and psychological cycles that are present in men.
A study found that men’s testosterone levels displayed weekly fluctuations, peaking on weekends. Men who had a female partner
and wished to have a child with her displayed a 28-day cycle of testosterone levels, leading the researchers to hypothesize that the
men’s hormone cycles might have synchronized with their partner’s. Strikingly, men’s testosterone levels also vary with sexual
activity. In this same study, men who had sex with an unfamiliar partner showed a 100 percent increase in their testosterone
levels the following morning.
