vagina

uterine fundus

ovary

fallopian tube

cervice

fimbriae

endometrium

Multiple Choice

Which hormone signals ovulation?

• FSH

• LH

• Inhibin

• Estrogen

Multiple Choice

What is the role of FSH during the menstrual cycle ?

• Inhibits the development of another follicle by inhibiting FSH.

• Stimulates the development of follicles which in turn leads to estrogen secretion.

• Causes ovulation and causes the ruptured follicle to develop into a corpus luteum.

• stimulates the growth of the endometrium lining.

Multiple Choice

The source of FSH in the body is...

• ovary

• ovarian corpus luteum

• anterior pituary gland

• pineal gland

Multiple Choice

Where specifically is the source of estrogen during days 15-24 of the menstrual cycle?

• Ovarian follicle

• Oviduct glands

• Ovarian corpus luteum

• Ovarian gland

Multiple Choice

The ovarian follicle is stimulated through development by:

• FSH
• LH
• Estrogen
• Progesterone

Multiple Choice

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone is released from the pituitary gland stimulating the follicle cells to grow and mature.

• Follicular Phase

• Ovulation Phase

• Luteal Phase

Multiple Choice

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) triggers the ruptured follicle to change into a corpus luteum which begins to secrete estrogens and progesterone.
