Rationale 1: Estrogens assist in the maturation of the ovarian follicles and cause the endometrial mucosa to proliferate following menstruation.
Rationale 2: During the follicular phase, the primordial follicle matures under the influence of FSH and LH until ovulation occurs.
Rationale 3: The corpus luteum develops under the influence of LH during the luteal phase.
Rationale 4: A mature graafian follicle appears on about the 14th day of the ovarian cycle under dual control of FSH and LH.
Rationale 5: FSH is primarily responsible for the maturation of the ovarian follicle. As the follicle matures, it secretes increasing amounts of estrogen, which enhance the development of the follicle.
