Question

In the 28 days human ovarian cycle, the ovulation takes place typically on

• A. Day 1 of the cycle
• B. Day 5 of the cycle
• C. Day 14 of the cycle
• D. Day 28 of the cycle

Answer 1

The correct option is C Day 14 of the cycle

FSH is secreted by anterior pituitary during the follicular phase (day 0 to 10) and stimulates the development of follicle. LH surge at day 14 causes rupture of Graffian follicle and release of the ovum. Day 15 to 28 constitute secretory phase marked by secretion of progesterone and estrogen from corpus luteum. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
