b. FSH and LH directly promote development of the uterine endometrium
c. the corpus luteum is formed from the ruptured follicle after ovulation
d. a decrease in the levels of ovarian hormones signals menstruation
Answer:
b. FSH and LH directly promote development of the uterine endometrium
Step-by-step explanation:
FSH and LH levels relatively go high from day 1-8 of the ovarian cycle.
FSH stimulates the development of 10-20 follicles resulting in the full maturation of a single dominant follicle- appearing in mid-follicular phase,
High LH and FSH triggered b drop in estrogen and progesterone levels from last cycle. Estrogen level starts to rise as follicular development occurs.
Hence All of the following statements referring to the uterine cycle are true except b. FSH and LH directly promote development of the uterine endometrium
