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>

Reaction time, speed, and power are the most important skill-related fitness components that every sprinter must excel at during the race.

Strength is defined as the ability to generate force (lifting heavy weights) speed: the ability to move quickly (sprinting) Endurance is the ability to withstand fatigue (running a marathon) Flexibility is the ability to achieve a wide range of motion at the joints (doing a split) Power is defined as the ability to exert maximum muscular contraction in an explosive burst of movements. Strength and speed are the two components of power. (For example, jumping or a sprint start) Aerobic endurance is also known as cardiovascular endurance. Marathon runners and distance cyclists need a high level of aerobic endurance to be able to work for an extended period of time during a race.
