This question asks, certain ovarian tumors called granulosis cell tumors are known to produce exact excessive levels of estrogen.
00:07
A physician who diagnoses a granulosis cell tumor should look for a secondary cancer cell in which of the following parts of the reproductive tract.
00:15
So the fallopian tube, cervix, endometrium, or vagina.
00:19
So estrogen, as we know, is going to cause growth of the endometrial lining during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.
00:28
So estrogen, let's write that down, estrogen causes growth of the endometrium.
00:40
And the endometrium is basically the lining of the uterus.
00:46
So the uterine lining, the endometrial lining, will grow during the follicular phase if estrogen is going to be present.
00:54
And the levels of estrogen will stay high during the ludial phase so that we can promote the vascularization.
01:00
And glandularization of the tissue.
01:04
So not only building up the endometrial lining by producing more cells, but also promoting vascularization, so blood supply to those cells...
