The falciform ligament separates the a. right and left lobes of the liver.

Explanation:

The falciform ligament is a ligament that attaches the liver to the front body wall, and separates the liver into the left medial lobe and left lateral lobe.
The falciform ligament is a broad and thin peritoneal ligament. It is sickle shaped and a remnant of the ventral mesentery of the fetus.
The falciform ligament droops down from the hilum of the liver.
It contains between its layers a small but variable amount of fat and its free edge contains the obliterated umbilical vein and if present, the falciform artery and paraumbilical veins.
The falciform ligament divides the left and right subphrenic compartments but may still allow passage of fluid from one to the other.
The falciform ligament stretches obliquely from the front to the back of the abdomen, with one surface in contact with the peritoneum behind the right rectus abdominis muscle and the diaphragm, and the other in contact with the left lobe of the liver.

Estrogens from the vesicular follicle trigger an LH surge from the anterior pituitary. This is an example of: Estrogens from the

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is: positive feedback.

Explanation:

Positive and negative feedback are terms that are used to define the way a system is regulated by its products. For example, when the production of a certain substance inhibits its producer that is called negative feedback. On the other hand, when a substance stimulates its producer to keep secreting said substance, this is called positive feedback.

Estrogen is a hormone of great importance in the female reproductive cycle and is secreted by the follicle cells in response to the presence of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), released by the anterior pituitary when stimulated by the GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone).

Estrogen appears at the beginning of the cycle to stimulate the development of the ovarian follicles, and the hormone levels continue to rise as the cycle advances. Up until the 14th day of the cycle, estrogen has a negative feedback on GnRH and FSH, but then it makes an abrupt change to now exert positive feedback on GnRH to stimulate the release of LH (luteinizing hormone), which will be responsible for ovulation.
