Assuming a female has a normal monthly cycle, which of the following events ARE likely to take place around day 20 of her cycle? Select ALL that apply. progesterone levels are relatively high a follicle is developing an oocyte the endometrium is growing thicker by mitosis the endometrium is shedding out of the body the corpus luteum is releasing hormones in the ovary FSH levels are spiking During pregnancy the embryo releases a hormone called [ Select ] ["oxytocin", "HCG", "FSH", "progesterone", "LH"] which causes the [ Select ] ["follicle", "corpus luteum", "placenta", "uterus", "corpus albicans"] in the ovary to continue to release [ Select ] ["LH", "FSH", "HCG", "oxytocin", "progesterone"] to maintain the pregnancy.

31. Choose the false statement: Once a woman reaches puberty, each month about 15-20 primordial follicles will begin the maturation process within her ovaries; usually only a single follicle will survive the 14 days leading up to ovulation. In the female, FSH and LH secreted from the anterior pituitary act directly on the tissues of the uterus to prepare it for the possibility of implantation of a developing embryo. About the same time that follicles mature to the point of ovulation, the primary oocyte within completes meiosis I and becomes a secondary oocyte; it isn't until the secondary oocyte is fertilized that it completes meiosis II.
