II. Modified True or False. Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct, and if it is wrong
underline the word/words that made the statement incorrect and write the correct answer on the
space provided.
1. At birth, a female has approximately 1 million egg cells, but only about 300 to 400 are ovulated
during her lifetime. _________
2. By the time a female reaches puberty, only about 100,000 egg cells remain in her ovaries.
___________
3. Fertility in women tends to decrease as they grow older due to the declining number and quality
of remaining eggs. ______________________
4. The term "menstruation" refers to the periodic shedding of the uterine lining, and the word
"menstru" means "weekly." ______________________
5. The average menstrual cycle lasts for about 28 days and is divided into phases. _________________
6. Estrogen prevents the further production of FSH and stimulates the release of Luteinizing Hormone
(LH). ______________________
7. High levels of progesterone prevent the release of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and are crucial for
maintaining pregnancy. ______________________

1. It is a complex biological process and is controlled by different glands of the human body and its
hormones released _____________________

hormone.___________
