Question #1
The 'Hormone Luteinizing Hormone' (LH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary. In females, the mid-cycle surge of LH directly triggers:
A. Menstruation
B. The growth of ovarian follicles
C. Ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum
D. The thickening of the uterine lining

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a gonadotropin secreted by the gonadotroph cells of the anterior pituitary. In females, during the late follicular phase, rising estrogen levels exert positive feedback on the pituitary, causing a massive, sudden surge of LH (the LH surge). This surge directly triggers ovulation (the rupture of the mature Graafian follicle and release of the secondary oocyte) and subsequently stimulates the remaining follicular cells to transform into the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone.
