Sol. [Key Concept: Ovulation triggered by the LH surge]

Rapid secretion of LH leading to its maximum level during the mid-cycle called LH surge induces rupture of Graafian follicle and thereby the release of ovum (ovulation).

The remaining parts of the Graafian follicle transform as the corpus luteum, which secretes large amounts of progesterone.
