A Oestrogen is secreted by granulosa cells in the growing follicles and also by theca cells.

B After ovulation, the collapsed follicle becomes a corpus luteum, which continues to produce oestrogen and progesterone to support the endometrium whilst awaiting fertilization and implantation.

C If fertilization and implantation occur then hCG produced from the trophoblast maintains the corpus luteum until 7–9 weeks.

D The ovary is supplied by the ovarian artery and branches of the uterine artery.

E The most common carcinoma of the ovary derives from the cortex.

F None of the above.
