Select the incorrect statement:
Options
- AFSH stimulates the sertoli cells which help in spermiogenesis
- BLH triggers ovulation in ovary
- CLH and FSH decrease gradually during the follicular phase
- DLH triggers secretion of androgens from the Leydig cells
Correct answer
C. LH and FSH decrease gradually during the follicular phase
Step-by-step solution
LH and FSH both increase during the follicular phase. The first day of menses is identified as cycle day one. Estrogen is at a low point. Therefore, the pituitary secretes FSH and LH, a process which actually begins before the onset of menses. These hormones, in turn, stimulate the growth of several ovarian follicles, each containing one egg.
