Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the menstrual cycle, estradiol peaks first, which triggers the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland. FSH then stimulates the growth of the follicles in the ovaries, which produce estradiol. As the follicles mature, they begin producing more and more estradiol until it reaches a peak, causing the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. The surge of LH triggers ovulation, and the remaining follicle becomes the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone. Therefore, the correct order is estradiol, LH and FSH, and progesterone, making choice C the best answer.
