Luteinizing hormone triggers:
Correct answer: C. Ovulation
- A. Cessation of oogenesis
- B. Breakdown of oocytes
- C. Ovulation
- D. Development of zygote
Explanation
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system by triggering ovulation. Ovulation is the process in which a mature follicle in the ovary releases an egg (oocyte) into the fallopian tube, where it can potentially be fertilized by sperm. Hence, option C is correct.
