Answer
  • the action potentials must have a lower spike height in these new mammals
  • resting membrane potential must have a lower spike height in these new mammals

Question 16

Question
Why does it make sense that estrogen carries out a negative feedback loop on the anterior pituitary hormones during the luteal phase?
Answer
  • because the follicle is preparing for ovulation and the anterior pituitary hormones inhibit ovulation
  • because the uterus is preparing for pregnancy and there is no need to promote the growth of a new follicle when one was just released
