Luteinizing hormone (LH)
B
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
C
Progesterone
D
Estrogen
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of hormones in the female menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is regulated by a complex interplay of hormones, including luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estrogen, and progesterone.
Learn about the function of luteinizing hormone (LH). LH is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and plays a critical role in triggering ovulation, which is the release of a mature egg from the ovary.
Compare the roles of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH. FSH is primarily responsible for stimulating the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, while LH is responsible for the final surge that leads to ovulation.
Understand the roles of estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen helps regulate the growth of the uterine lining and provides feedback to the pituitary gland, while progesterone prepares the uterus for potential implantation after ovulation.
Identify the correct hormone responsible for triggering ovulation. Based on the functions described, luteinizing hormone (LH) is the primary hormone responsible for triggering ovulation during the menstrual cycle.
