- In respect of female reproductive cyck, which of the following statements are correct
1. The female reproductive cycle consists of menstrual phase, a pre-ovulatory phase, ovulation and a post ovulatory phase.
2. During the menstrual phase, small secondary follicles in the ovary begin to enlargewhile the uterus is shedding its lining
3. During the pre-ovulatory phase, a dominant follick continues to grow and begins tosecret estrogen and inhibin while the uterine lining begins to rebuild
4. Ovulation results in the release of an ovum and the shedding of the uterus lining tonourish and support
the release ovum
5. After ovulation, a corpus luteum forms the ruptured follicks and begins to secreteprogesterone and estrogen, which it will continue to do throughout pregnancy if the eggis fertilized
6. If pregnancy does not occur, then the corpus luteum degenerates into a scar knownas corpus albicans and uterine lining is prepared to be shed again - Antidiabetic action of gliburidestart at molecular level by which mechanism
