Follicles hold (a) and releases the hormone (b) . This hormone is linked to its ability to (c) LH (luteinizing hormone).
A follicle that has recently released an egg is called a (a) . This follicle releases a hormone called (b) which (c) the shedding of the uterine lining, known as (d) .
Two crucial hormones that are released from the pituitary gland are known as LH (luteinizing hormone) and (a) . In women, this hormone is essential for the development of follicles and it triggers the release (b) in the (c) .
An increase in (a) causes an (b) in (c) , a hormone that causes ovulation to occur. After ovulation, the ruptured follicle known as a corpus luteum (that has released an ovum, matured egg), releases a hormone called (d) . This hormone prevents the shedding of the uterine lining. The menstrual cycle is repeated when levels of this same hormone drops, causing an increase in (e) , which gives nutrients needed for follicles to grow. Estrogen will be released from these growing follicles, eventually decreasing the levels of FSH hormone. (Reread from the top to see what else estrogen does to continue the menstrual cycle)
Match the events of the menstrual cycle to the days they occur.
The hypothalymus released GnRH which triggers LH and FSH to be released.
LH and FSH stimulate the development of the primary follicle in the ovary.
The follicle secretes estrogen.
Lack of progesterone causes the breakdown of the endometrium, causing mensuration.
Estrogen causes the thickening of the endomentrium.
The follicle is nearly mature, releasing high levels of estrogen causing a surge in LH.
LH causes ovulation to occur.
The ruptured follicle becomes the corpus luteum.
The corpus luteum release so much progesterone that estrogen levels drop.
High progesterone levels maintain the thickness of the endometrium.
Steadily, progesterone levels begin to drop, causing the endometrium to get ready to shed.
The corpus luteum stops producing progesterone and becomes a scar tissue, the corpus albicans.

(a)
A woman has a 28-day menstrual cycle and ovulates on day 14. If she has unprotected sex on day 12, what is the likelihood of pregnancy?
Very low, because ovulation has already passed
High, because sperm can survive several days until ovulation
Impossible, because fertilization only occurs on the same day as ovulation
Low, because eggs take several days to be released after ovulation
If a woman ovulates on day 16, and she has unprotected sex on day 19, what is the chance she could become pregnant?
High, because sperm can fertilize for many days after ovulation
Moderate, because ovulation is unpredictable
Low, because the egg survives only about 12–24 hours after ovulation
High, because the luteal phase begins immediately after ovulation
A couple is trying to conceive. The woman’s cycle is regular and she ovulates on day 15. Which day would give them the highest chance of pregnancy?
Day 10
Day 13
Day 16
Day 20
The fertile window spans about (a) days before and (b) day after ovulation. Sex (c) days before ovulation gives the (d) chance since sperm are already present when the egg is released.

Produced by the hypothalamus
Stimulates the production of gonadotropins
Produced by the pituitary gland

Produced by the follicle in the ovary
Produced by cells in the testes
Stimulates the development of female characteristics
Stimulates the developoment of male characteristics
