Given below is a flow chart showing ovarian changes during menstrual cycle. Fill in the spaces giving the name of the hormones responsible for the events shown.
$\boxed{\rm {Primary follicles}}$
$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \downarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \leftarrow \,\boxed A$
$\boxed{\rm {Graafian follicle}}$
$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \downarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \leftarrow \,\boxed B$
$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\boxed{\rm {Ovum}}$
$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \downarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \leftarrow \,\boxed C$
$\boxed{\rm {Corpus leuteum}}$
$\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{LH}$ and $\mathrm{FSH}, \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{LH}, \mathrm{C}=$ Progesteron
In follicular phase secretion of gonadotropin hormones, $LH$ and $FSH$ increases gradually, stimulates follicular development and secretion of estrogen. Rapid secretion of $LH$ leading to its maximum level during the mid cycle ($14$th day) induces rapture of graafian follicle and ovum is released. The remaining part of Graafian follicle transforms into corpus luteum. The corpus luteum secretes large amount of progesterena which is essential for maintenance of endometrium.
Which of the following hormone levels will cause release of ovum (ovulation) from the grafflan follicle$?$
Match the columns.
Column 1 | Column II |
$(a)$ $6-14$ days | $(1)$ It is known as menstrual cycle |
$(b)$ $1-5$ days | $(2)$ Polar body is down |
$(c)$ $15-28$ days | $(3)$ It is known as proliferative phase |
$(4)$ Endometrium is prepared forimplantation of embryo |
The structure formed after release of ova from graafian follicles and secretory in nature, is
Corpus luteum is developed from
How many eggs are released by a human ovary in a month? How many eggs do you think would have been released if the mother gave birth to identical twins? Would your answer change if the twins born were fraternal?
