Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
(A) hCG — this matches (III) Placenta. Human chorionic gonadotropin is secreted by the placenta during pregnancy.
(B) LH Surge — this matches (IV) Ovulation. The mid-cycle peak of LH ruptures the Graafian follicle and releases the ovum.
(C) Oxytocin — this matches (II) Uterine contractions. Oxytocin from the maternal pituitary causes the strong contractions that lead to parturition.
(D) Relaxin — this matches (I) Released in the later phase of pregnancy. Relaxin is secreted by the ovary in the later phase of pregnancy.
