Question

What induces rupture of the Graafian follicle?

Answer 1

Graafian follicle:

1. The follicular stage that occurs in between the first meiotic division and ovulation is called the Graafian follicle.
2. It is the largest follicle containing the egg released by the ovary.
3. The quick secretion of the luteinizing hormone (LH) leads to a maximal level in the mid-cycle known as LH surge.
4. A surge in the hormone induces the rupture of the Graafian follicle, which eventually turns into ovulation.
5. This induces the rupture of the Graafian follicle.
