ovaries and anterior pituitary
Menstrual cycle is regulated by certain hormones, some of which are secreted by the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is stimulated by releasing factors produced in the hypothalamus. The hormones produced by the pituitary gland influence the ovaries. The hormones secreted by the ovaries affect the walls of the uterus.
It can be explained as: Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) also called Gonadotropin releasing Factor (GnRF), is secreted by the hypothalamus of the brain, which stimulates the anterior lobe of pituitary to release follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH). FSH stimulates the ovarian follicles to produce estrogens during proliferative phase. LH stimulates the corpus luteum of the ovary to secrete progesterone.
Which of the following statements is correct regarding menstrual cycle?
LH induces rupturing of Graafian follicle
Proliferative phase is characterised by the increased production of progesterone

A represents the fertilised zygote.
B represents the stage of morula formation.
C represents the blastocyst.
D represents the blastocyst implantation

Choose the correct statement.
hPL plays a major role in parturition.
Foetus shows movements first time in the 7th month of pregnancy.
Signal for parturition comes from fully developed foetus and placenta.
Embryo's heart is formed by the 2nd month of pregnancy.
Assertion: Parturition is induced by neural signal in maternal pituitary.
Reason: At the end of gestation period, the maternal pituitary releases prolactin which causes uterine contractions.

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.

Starting from the maximum, arrange the following male reproductive accessory organs in the correct order, based on the amount of secretion poured into urethra.

(ii) Seminal vesicle
(iii) Bulbourethral gland
(i) > (ii) > (iii)
(iii) > (ii) > (i)
(ii) > (iii) > (i)
(ii) > (i) > (iii)
