Select the correct explanation for the labels A, B, C and D
A represents the fertilised zygote.
B represents the stage of morula formation.
C represents the blastocyst.
D represents the blastocyst implantation
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.

During menstrual cycle, levels of LH and estrogen are highest around
14day
21day
7day
28day
A.
14day
The secretion of gonadotropins (LH and FSH) increases gradually during the follicular phase and stimulates follicular development as well as secretion of estrogens by the growing follicles. Both LH and FSH attain a peak level in the middle of the cycle (about 14 day). Rapid secretion ofLH leading to its maximum level during mid-cyclecalled LH surge induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum (ovulation). Concentration of estrogen in blood is also high around 14 day and reaches its peak.
Starting from the maximum, arrange the following male reproductive accessory organs in the correct order, based on the amount of secretion poured into urethra.
(i) Prostrate gland
(ii) Seminal vesicle
(iii) Bulbourethral gland
(i) > (ii) > (iii)
(iii) > (ii) > (i)
(ii) > (iii) > (i)
(ii) > (i) > (iii)
The 'cells of Rauber' are
secretory cells of endometrium in uterus
inner cell mass of blastocoel
outer cells of trophoblast in contact with uterine wall
cells of trophoblast, in contact with inner cell mass of blastocyst.
