Answer the following question given this paragraph: The placenta takes over the synthesis and secretion of progesterone throughout pregnancy as the corpus luteum degenerates. Like estrogen, progesterone suppresses FSH and LH. It also inhibits uterine contractions, protecting the fetus from preterm birth. This hormone decreases in late gestation, allowing uterine contractions to intensify and eventually progress to true labor. The placenta also produces hCG. In addition to promoting survival of the corpus luteum, hCG stimulates the male fetal gonads to secrete testosterone, which is essential for the development of the male reproductive system. The anterior pituitary enlarges and ramps up its hormone production during pregnancy, raising the levels of thyrotropin, prolactin, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Thyrotropin, in conjunction with placental hormones, increases the production of thyroid hormone, which raises the maternal metabolic rate. This can markedly augment a pregnant woman's appetite and cause hot flashes. Prolactin stimulates enlargement of the mammary glands in preparation for milk production. ACTH stimulates maternal cortisol secretion, which contributes to fetal protein synthesis. In addition to the pituitary hormones, increased parathyroid levels mobilize calcium from maternal bones for fetal use. Q: What takes over the synthesis and secretion of progesterone throughout pregnancy as the corpus luteum degenerates? A:

OPTIONS:
- vagina
- uterus
- ovaries
- placenta

Answer: placenta

Problem: OPTIONS:
- fluorescence
- inversion
- infraction
- calorimetry
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Enthalpy changes are measured by using calorimetry. Q: Enthalpy changes are measured by using what? A:
Answer: calorimetry

Problem:OPTIONS:
- visual rotation
- interior rotation
- lateral rotation
- medial rotation

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Rotational Movement Rotational movement is the movement of a bone as it rotates around its longitudinal axis. Rotation can be toward the midline of the body, which is referred to as medial rotation, or away from the midline of the body, which is referred to as lateral rotation. Movement of the head from side to side is an example of rotation. Special Movements Some movements that cannot be classified as gliding, angular, or rotational are called special movements. Inversion involves the soles of the feet moving inward, toward the midline of the body. Eversion is the opposite of inversion, movement of the sole of the foot outward, away from the midline of the body. Protraction is the anterior movement of a bone in the horizontal plane. Retraction occurs as a joint moves back into position after protraction. Protraction and retraction can be seen in the movement of the mandible as the jaw is thrust outwards and then back inwards. Elevation is the movement of a bone upward, such as when the shoulders are shrugged, lifting the scapulae. Depression is the opposite of elevationmovement downward of a bone, such as after the shoulders are shrugged and the scapulae return to their normal position from an elevated position. Dorsiflexion is a bending at the ankle such that the toes are lifted toward the knee. Plantar flexion is a bending at the ankle when the heel is lifted, such as when standing on the toes. Supination is the movement of the radius and ulna bones of the forearm so that the palm faces forward. Pronation is the opposite movement, in which the palm faces backward. Opposition is the movement of the thumb toward the fingers of the same hand, making it possible to grasp and hold objects. Q: What is the term for rotation of a bone toward the midline of the body? A:
****
A: medial rotation

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What is it called when feces move along the colon too slowly? A:
OPTIONS:
- respiratory
- diarrhea
- relaxation
- constipation
constipation

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Then, about 2 or 3 billion years ago, oxygen was gradually added to the atmosphere by early photosynthetic bacteria. After that, living things could use oxygen to break down glucose and make ATP. Today, most organisms make ATP with oxygen. They follow glycolysis with the Krebs cycle and electron transport to make more ATP than by glycolysis alone. Cellular respiration that proceeds in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration . Q: Cellular respiration that proceeds in the presence of oxygen is known as what? A:
OPTIONS:
- digestive respiration
- anaerobic respiration
- kinetic respiration
- aerobic respiration

Answer: aerobic respiration

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Earthquakes with a magnitude in the 9 range are rare. The United States Geological Survey lists five such earthquakes on the moment magnitude scale since 1900 (see Figure below ). All but one, the Great Indian Ocean Earthquake of 2004, occurred somewhere around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Q: Since 1900, four of the five earthquakes of the greatest magnitude occurred near what appropriately nicknamed pacific location? A:
OPTIONS:
- shower of fire
- quake epicenter
- seismic zone
- ring of fire
output:
ring of fire
