follicle stimulating hormone
The hormone is FSH - follicle stimulating hormone. As the follicle develops, it produces estrogen.

The ovarian follicle has two functions. It provides for the maturation and release of a fertilizable egg. The follicle stimulating hormone regulates the development, growth, and pubertal maturation.
There are many hormones which stimulate activity in the ovaries.The two main ones are FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). FSH triggers the growth of an ovum, and LH is involved in causing ovulation (the release of the ovum/egg).
Follicle-stimulating hormone, or FSH, stimulates the ovaries. The hormone triggers the growth of immature ovarian follicles, which eventually culminates in the release of a mature egg.
Ovulation, that is a process by which a mature ovarian follicle releases an ovum, is triggered by the spike in the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) released from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
Leutinizing hormone (LH) is the hormone that stimulates a follicle to develop a mature egg. LH and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) work together to regulate egg production and ovulation in females.

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
Follicle Stimulating Hormone stimulates follicle and egg maturation in females and stimulates sperm production and maturation in males. Therefore low levels of FSH slows spermatogenesis.

LH Leutenizing hormone- it stimulates the release of the oocyte into the fallopian tube, i.e. ovulation. [Do not confuse with FSH- follicle stimulating hormone, which stimulates the growth/maturation of the follicle containing the oocyte IN the Ovary.]
In females, it promotes the development of egg-containingfollicles in ovaries and stimulates follicular cells to secrete estrogen.In males, it stimulates production of sperm cells.
LH Leutenizing hormone- it stimulates the release of the oocyte into the fallopian tube, i.e. ovulation. [Do not confuse with FSH- follicle stimulating hormone, which stimulates the growth/maturation of the follicle containing the oocyte IN the Ovary.]
Follicle-stimulating hormone
The release of an ovum from a follicle is known as ovulation. The ovum is also known as the egg.
