Question

Peaks of LH and FSH production occur during ______.

Options

• flow phase of the menstrual cycle

• follicular phase of the ovarian cycle

• period surrounding ovulation

• end of the luteal phase of the ovarian cycle

Answer 1

Peaks of LH and FSH production occur during period surrounding ovulation.

Explanation:

The ovulatory phase, during the 14th day of the menstrual cycle, is when LH and FSH peak. Ovulation occurs when the mature Graafian follicle releases an egg due to this hormonal surge, especially LH. LH and FSH levels grow steadily during the follicular phase but peak around ovulation, not during the flow phase, follicular phase, or luteal phase.
