Question

The surge in luteinizing hormone that occurs during the middle of the ovarian cycle triggers
A) follicle maturation.
B) menstruation.
C) ovulation.
D) menopause.
E) atresia.

Accepted Answer

The surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) during the middle of the ovarian cycle triggers ovulation, which is the release of a mature egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube. This surge in LH causes the dominant follicle to rupture and release the mature egg in response to the high levels of hormones.
