Question
Answer

🗑
What does follicle become after ovulation?   Corpus luteum - left over glandular structure.  
🗑

🗑
What gland moistens external vestibule of vagina?   Greater vestibular glands.  
🗑

🗑
FSH exerts its main effects on ovary __.   follicle cells  
🗑

🗑
High estrogen levels cause __ surge, which stimulates the dominant follicle __.   LH - to complete first meiotic division  
🗑
After ovulation __ levels decline.   Estrogen - due to rupture of dominant estrogen-secreting follicle.  
🗑
Why is LH called a "luteinizing hormone"?   Because LH surge also transforms ruptured follicle into corpus luteum.
