2. hCG is secreted by a fertilized ovum and does not stimulate ovulation.
3. The ovum is released from the graafian follicle of the ovary and travels to the fallopian tube during the follicular phase of the ovarian cycle.
4. Menstrual cycles that are irregular in length have a consistent follicular phase but a varying luteal phase.
