Accepted Answer

Hello everyone. Let's look at our next problem. LH and FSH worked together to stimulate follicular growth and blink. So first of all let's start with what our LH and FSH, as we recall from our content videos. LH is the lutin. Izing hormone and FSH is the follicle stimulating hormone. So we've got a clue right here because we're looking for what they work together to stimulate. And FSH is the follicle stimulating hormone. So as we see from its name, FSH stimulates follicle maturation as the follicle matures, that releases estradiol estradiol then triggers a spike Oops let's face that real quick triggers a spike in L. H. Levels and that spike causes the ovary to release the now mature egg. So we see them working together to release an egg and the process of releasing an egg is ovulation. So they work together to stimulate follicular growth and ovulation. So we see choice A. Is ovulation. So choices are correct answer right away. But let's just work through the other answers to see why they're not correct choice B. Is menstruation. Menstruation is a result of the drop in progesterone levels at the end of the menstrual cycle. So not talking about menstruation, their choices. Menopause, menopause that cessation of menstrual cycles for a woman. Um A result of dropping estrogen levels as a woman gets older and choice D. Is fertilization. Um These hormones are not working to stimulate fertilization that fertilization obviously happening when egg and sperm meet after the release of the egg. So not choice D. So our correct answer again is a ovulation. Thanks for watching this video.
