Question

Once a woman attains puberty, her ovaries mature and release one egg per ovarian cycle. Which hormone stimulates this event?

luteinizing hormone (LH)

follicle–stimulating hormone (FSH)

thyroid hormone (TSH)

Answer 1

The correct answer is "follicle–stimulating hormone (FSH)".

Step-by-step explanation:

Follicle–stimulating hormone (FSH) is vital for the proper development and human maturation. Ovaries maturation and releasing one egg per ovarian cycle are among the biological processes that FSH regulates. FSH also stimulates oestradiol production and regulates ovaries follicular growth (the process that gave it its name). In men, FSH stimulate sperm production (spermatogenesis).

Answer 2

The hormone that stimulates ovaries to release one egg per ovarian cycle is called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is produced in the pituitary gland. Most woman will reach puberty by their teen years.
