Ovulation occurs

Question

Ovulation occurs

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ovulation occurs during the middle of the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle, which is approximately day 14 in a 28-day cycle. This is when estrogen levels peak and stimulate the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, triggering ovulation.

Option B is incorrect because FHS and LH are released in response to rising estrogen levels, not at dawn. Option C is incorrect because the secretory stage occurs after ovulation has already occurred. Options D and E are also incorrect because ovulation does not occur at the beginning of menses or during the formation of the corpus luteum, respectively.
