Which one of the following is the most likely root cause why menstruation is not taking place in regularly cycling human female?
Maintenance of the hypertrophical endometrial lining
Maintenance of high concentration of sex hormones in the blood stream
Retention of welldeveloped corpus luteum
Fertilisation of the ovum
Solution
(b) : High concentration of sex steroids (estrogen) exerts negative feedback on anterior pituitary, decreasing $LH$ secretion and release thus, lowering $LH$ level in blood. Due to insufficient $LH$ – level no ovulation occurs which causes irregular menstruation.
