The scapula also bounds to the head of the humerus, it is, the distal superior end.

What happens to the concentration of oestrogen at ovulation?
frez [133]

Answer:

When oestrogen rises to a high enough level it causes a surge in LH from the pituitary which causes ovulation where an egg is released from the follicle (Day 14 of the cycle). The follicle becomes the corpus luteum and this produces oestrogen and progesterone which inhibit FSH and LH production by the pituitary.
