During a menstrual cycle, a midcycle surge of from the triggers ovulation. a. FSH; pituitary b. progesterone; egg c. LH; pituitary d. estrogen; follicle cells
What do the rising levels of FSH and LH in the follicular phase cause? a. The follicles on the surface of the ovary start growing in preparation for ovulation. b. The endometrium starts to thicken. c. The corpus luteum starts secreting progesterone. d. One of the mature follicles bursts, releasing the egg.
Which activity is a step in the ovarian cycle? a. FSH stimulates the pituitary to release GnRH. b. When FSH and LH levels fall, the corpus luteum shrinks and the uterine lining breaks down. c. Luteinizing hormone stimulates the uterus to make progesterone. d. Estrogen levels initially have a positive feedback effect on the pituitary, which is followed by higher estrogen levels causing negative feedback. e. A fully developed corpus luteum inhibits uterine lining growth.
