About which day in a normal human menstrual cycle does rapid secretion of $LH$ (popularly called $LH$ surge) normally occurs?

A

$14^{th}$ day

B

$20^{th}$ day

C

$5^{th}$ day

D

$11^{th}$ day

(AIPMT-2011)

Solution

(a) : Both $LH$ and $FSH$ attain a peak level in the middle of menstrual cycle (about $14^{th}$ day). Rapid secretion of $LH$ leading to its maximum level during the mid­cycle called $LH$ surge induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum (ovulation).
