• B. 1- GnRH, 2 - LH, ABP
• C. 1- LH, 2 - FSH, GnRH
• D. 1- FSH, 2 - LH, GnRH

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1- GnRH, 2 - LH, FSH

Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) is secreted by the hypothalamus which stimulates the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland to secrete luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

FSH stimulates the growth of the ovarian follicles.

LH induces ovulation and maintains corpus luteum.
