Question 1 of 5
A woman's temperature has just risen 0.4°F and will remain elevated during the remainder of her cycle. She expects to menstruate in about 2 weeks. Which of the following hormones is responsible for the change?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The hormone responsible for the increase in body temperature prior to menstruation is estrogen. Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone that plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle. Around the time of ovulation, estrogen levels peak, which can lead to a slight rise in body temperature. This increase in temperature is known as the "estrogenic temperature shift" and is a normal part of the menstrual cycle. The rise in body temperature indicates that ovulation has occurred and that a woman is approaching her fertile window. Estrogen also helps prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy and plays a role in many other reproductive functions.
