Question

Which of the following combinations is most likely to be present before ovulation occurs?

• A. FSH, corpus luteum, estrogen, secretory uterine lining
• B. Luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle, progesterone, thick uterine lining
• C. FSH, follicle, estrogen, uterine lining becoming thick
• D. LH, corpus luteum, progesterone, secretory uterine lining

Answer 1

The correct option is C FSH, follicle, estrogen, uterine lining becoming thick

Several hormones are involved in the menstrual cycle of a woman. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) causes the maturation of an egg in the ovary. Luteinising hormone (LH) stimulates the release of the egg. Estrogen is involved in repairing and thickening the uterus lining, progesterone maintains the uterine lining. The menstrual cycle lasts for approximately 28 days.

So the correct option is 'FSH, follicle, estrogen, uterine line becoming thick'.
