Question

If a woman consumes some drug which is rich in LH, then which of the following phenomenon occurs?

• A. Menstruation stops
• B. Ovulation will occur
• C. Activation of oestrogen occurs
• D. Activation of FSH occurs

Answer 1

The correct option is B Ovulation will occur

LH and FSH attain a peak level in the middle of cycle (about 14th day). Rapid secretion of LH leading to its maximum level during the mid-cycle called LH surge induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of an ovum (ovulation). The ovulation (ovulatory phase) is followed by the luteal phase during which the remaining parts of the Graafian follicle transform as the corpus luteum. Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
