Question

question 27 1 pts body temperature drops 1 to 3 degrees to 37.2°c (99°f) about 24 hours before stage ii of labor in about 85% of bitches. this temperature drop is related to calming effects of the hormone relaxin. decreased activity of the bitch. the abrupt decrease in progesterone. delivery of the placenta. question 28 1 pts which of the following is not directly involved in hormonal regulation of female reproduction? the female genitalia hypothalamus pituitary gland the pancreas

Explanation:

For Question 27: Progesterone has a thermogenic effect. An abrupt decrease in progesterone levels about 24 hours before Stage II of labor in bitches is associated with the drop in body - temperature. Relaxin is mainly for softening of connective tissues, decreased activity doesn't directly cause the temperature drop, and delivery of the placenta occurs after the temperature drop.
For Question 28: The hypothalamus and pituitary gland secrete hormones that regulate the female reproductive cycle. The female genitalia are the organs of reproduction but not directly involved in hormonal regulation. The pancreas is mainly involved in regulating blood - sugar levels with insulin and glucagon and is not directly related to female reproductive hormonal regulation.

Answer:

Question 27: the abrupt decrease in progesterone.
Question 28: The pancreas
