<h2>Ovulation   </h2>

Explanation:

In women, luteinizing hormone carries out different roles in the two halves of the menstrual cycle

  • In week one to two of the cycle, luteinizing hormone is required to stimulate the ovarian follicles in the ovary to produce the female sex hormone, oestradiol
  • Around day 14 of the cycle, a surge in  luteinizing hormone levels causes the ovarian follicle to tear and release a mature oocyte (egg) from the ovary, a process called ovulation
  • For the remainder of the cycle (weeks three to four), the remnants of the ovarian follicle forms a corpus luteum
  • Luteinizing hormone stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone, which is required to support the early stages of pregnancy, if fertilization occurs

The suprachiasmatic nucleus influences the release of melatonin by its effect on the ________________.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Pineal gland

Explanation:

The suprachiasmatic nucleus is the paired nucleus made of about 1000 neurons each in the hypothalamus. The suprachiasmatic nucleus is involved in maintaining the endogenous clock or the internal clock.

The suprachiasmatic nucleus controls the circadian rhythm by controlling the amount of melatonin. The melatonin is produced by the pineal gland from the serotonin and tryptophan precursors.  The hypothalamus thus controls the amount of the melatonin by regulating the pineal gland.

Thus, Pineal gland is the correct answer.
