Renal tumors (neoplasms) are abnormal tissue formation on or around the kidney (Nogueras‚ Thomas‚ & Porter‚ 2015). Renal tumors may alter renal function. The most common malignant renal tumors are renal cell carcinomas‚ which originates in the renal cortex. Transitional cell carcinomas are the second most common form of renal tumors. Men and older age are at both common risk factors for renal tumors. Other risk factors include: obesity‚ exposure to asbestos‚ cadmium‚ and gasoline‚ the use of phenacetin

Ovarian Cycle Follicular Phase ↓ Est‚ ↓ Prog → ___ FSH release FSH → granulosa cells secrete ____ The major follicle will secrete the most estrogen and inhibin which will have a negative inhibition on FSH‚ LH and GnRH release (this will allow a greater chance of only one follicle maturing) When Est levels are highest → will switch to a positive feedback and stimulates ↑↑ secretion of LH‚ FSH and GnRH. Meanwhile‚ the follicle is also secreting a little Prog which stimulates GnRH and ↑ LH release
