Question

Rank each of the following events of the ovarian cycle in chronological order using #1 to identify the earliest event. 61 Rank the options below. 8 points Skipped The follicular phase begins The follicle collapses and bleeds and becomes the corpus luteum. eBook FSH stimulates the maturation of follicles Hint References A surge in LH stimulates the primary oocyte in the dominant follicle to complete meiosis The secondary oocyte is formed and the dominant follicle ruptures (ovulation). Estradiol increases the dominant follicle's sensitivity to the gonadotropins FSH secretion diminishes and non-dominant follicles degenerate. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone helping to prepare the uterus for a possible fertilization

Explanation / Answer

1) follicular phase begins

2) FSH stimulates the maturation of follicles

3) estradiol increases the dominant follicles sensitivity to gonadotropins

4) FSH secretion diminishes and non dominant follicles degenerate

5) a surge in LH stimulates the primary oocyte in the dominant follicle to complete meiosis 1

6) the secondary oocyte is formed and the dominant follicle ruptures (ovulation)

7) the follicle collapse and bleeds and becomes the corpus luteum

8) the corpus luteum secretes progesterone helping to prepare the uterus for a possible fertilization.
