Answer 1

Question 13.a) During the ovarian cycle, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is responsible for the growth of follicles in females.
In females, follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles before one follicle releases an egg at ovulation.

Question 14.a) Without follicle-stimulating hormone, ovulation will not occur.
In order to mature the follicle and to release egg follicle-stimulating hormone is necessary.

Question 17.c) The function of the corpus luteum during the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle is - Secretes progesterone and estrogen to prepare for a pregnancy.
Without the oocyte, the follicle fold inward on itself and transforms into corpus luteum, which produces estrogen and progesterone.

Question 18.b) The statement which is true about the hormonal events of the ovarian cycle is - Increased levels of estrogen initiate follicls development.
At the end of the follicle phase, estrogen levels peak and this causes a surge in levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone.
