Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the follicular phase, under the influence of rising levels of estrogen from developing follicles, the secretion of FSH and LH initially increase. Later, there is a decrease in FSH secretion, but LH remains relatively constant, and in fact, there is a surge in LH secretion triggered by the high levels of estrogen. Option B incorrectly states that both FSH and LH secretion continue to decrease throughout the follicular phase.
