Proliferative phase : Rapid regeneration of myometrium and maturation of Graafian follicle
B
Secretory phase : Development of increased secretion corpus luteum and of progesterone
C
Menstruation : Breakdown of myometrium and ovum not fertilised
D
Ovulation : $LH$ and $FSH$ attain peak level and sharp fall in the secretion of progesterone
(AIPMT-2009)
Solution
(b) : Secretory phase is also called as luteal phase. The luteinising hormone or $LH$ is secreted by the anterior lobe of pituitary gland. $LH$ causes ovulation. $LH$ stimulates cells of ovarian follicles to develop corpus luteum. Corpus luteum secretes large amount of progesterone.
