What event occurs following the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge during the female monthly cycle?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

During the follicular phase (first half of female cycle), follicles in the ovary begin developing under the<u> influence of </u><u>FSH.</u> <em>The follicle that acquires more FSH receptors will become </em><em>dominant</em> and will produce more estrogen and inhibin hormone than the others. Inhibin will reduce FSH level and as a result the other follicles will fail to keep growing. At this stage the dominant follicle will become FSH independent.

Estrogen produced by the dominant follicle will stimulate LH secretion. After approximately 24-36 hours from when LH reaches its peak level, the dominant follicle releases an ovocyte. <em>This event is called ovulation.</em>

Identify the true and false statements about physical and environmental contributors to mental health
Nitella [24]

Mental health is affected by physical factors such as disease or brain injury and by environmental factors such as stress or unemployment.

Mental health is one of the spheres of health. This comprises the mind related to psychological and emotional wellbeing.

This sphere can be affected by other factors or sphere including:

  • Environmental factors
  • Physical factors
  • Social factors

In the case of environmental factors this includes factors such as stress or unemployment, these affect mental health because they make a person more likely to develop certain conditions such as stress.

On the other hand, physical factors include factors such as disease or brain injury. The two factors have also been proven to make an individual more vulnerable to certain mental diseases.

Note: This question is incomplete because the statements are not given. Due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.
