Description
"Test your knowledge on positive feedback and hormone regulation with this quiz! Explore examples of how hormones can cause a chain reaction of secretion, such as the surge of luteinizing hormone before ovulation. See if you can identify the role of different hormones in this process and understand how they work together to maintain hormonal balance."
