You're on a roll — here is the solution to question 5: 5. a) State the site where the following occur: Fertilization: F* (Fallopian tube/Oviduct) Implantation: E* (Uterus) Ovulation: G* (Ovary) 5. b) Two secondary sexual characteristics in females are: Development of breasts. Widening of hips. Growth of pubic and axillary hair. (Any two of the above) 5. c) The pituitary gland controls the menstrual cycle by secreting two key hormones: Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)*: This hormone stimulates the development of ovarian follicles in the ovary, which in turn produce estrogen. Luteinizing Hormone (LH)*: A surge in LH triggers ovulation, the release of an egg from the mature follicle. LH also promotes the formation of the corpus luteum from the ruptured follicle, which then produces progesterone and estrogen. These ovarian hormones (estrogen and progesterone) then feedback to the pituitary, regulating the release of FSH and LH, thus controlling the cycle. What's next?
