Oestrogens.
Granulosa cells in the ovary secrete estrogen, inhibin, and activin. Estrogen is involved in the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, while inhibin and activin help regulate the menstrual cycle and follicle development.

the hair follicle is a skin organ that produces hair.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the development of egg cells in the ovaries.
A dominant follicle in the left ovary simply means that that particular follicle is responsible for releasing the egg for sterilization. The follicle that is not dominant will return the egg back to the ovary.
A primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of enlarged cuboidal epithelium. Recall that previously, there was a primary oocyte in a primordial follicle surrounded by a thinner single layer of squamous follicular cells.
Ovarian Follicle of the Ovary
During the first 14 days of the menstrual cycle, the follicle undergoes growth and development in the ovary until it reaches maturity. This process is stimulated by hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Around day 14, the mature follicle releases an egg in a process called ovulation.
Residual cells within ovulated folliclesproliferate to form corpora lutea, which secrete the steroid hormones progesterone and estradiol (estrogen).
The increase in levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) that occurs at puberty stimulates the maturation of a primary follicle in the ovary. FSH acts on the granulosa cells of the primary follicle, promoting their proliferation and differentiation. This leads to the growth and development of the primary follicle into a secondary follicle.
Primordial follicles are stimulated to develop into primary follicles by the hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which is released by the pituitary gland. FSH plays a crucial role in promoting the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles in the ovary.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is the hormone that stimulates follicle development in the ovary. It is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in the menstrual cycle of females.
