The simultaneously occurring events during the menstrual cycle are:
1. | peak of LH secretion and menstrual flow |
2. | follicular development and the uterus becoming highly secretory |
3. | formation of corpus Albicans and an increase in progesterone secretion |
4. | Proliferation stage of the uterus and increased estrogen production |

Which one of the following is the most likely reason for the regular menstruation cycle not occurring in females?
1. | Fertilisation of the ovum |
2. | Maintenance of the hypertrophical endometrial lining |
3. | Maintenance of a high concentration of sex hormones in the bloodstream |

What maintains the corpus luteum after fertilization?
1. | release of HCG by the trophoblast to maintain the corpus luteum. |
2. | production of LH by the maternal pituitary. |
3. | maintenance of the corpus luteum by prolactin. |
4. | production of estrogen by the adenohypophysis. |
LH surge:
1. | is a sudden dramatic increase in the levels of LH during the early part of the menstrual cycle and is responsible for ovulation |
2. | is a sudden dramatic decrease in the levels of LH during the early part of the menstrual cycle and is responsible for ovulation |
3. | is a sudden dramatic decrease in the levels of LH during the mid-menstrual cycle and is responsible for ovulation |
4. | is a sudden dramatic increase in the levels of LH during the mid-menstrual cycle and is responsible for ovulation |

Column I | Column II | |
1. | Ovulation | LH and FSH attain peak levels and sharp fall in the secretion of progesterone |
2. | Proliferative phase | Rapid regeneration of myometrium and maturation of Graafian follicle |
3. | Development of corpus luteum | Secretory phase and increased secretion of progesterone |
4. | Menstruation | Breakdown of myometrium and ovum not fertilized |
