Which hormone stimulates process of ovulation?
Correct answer: B. LH
- A. Prolactin
- B. LH
- C. FSH
- D. Oxytocin
Explanation
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. In females, LH plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle by triggering ovulation, which is the release of a mature egg from the ovary. In males, LH stimulates the production of testosterone in the testes. LH levels rise sharply just before ovulation, facilitating the release of the egg from the ovary. Tracking LH levels can be helpful in predicting ovulation, which is useful for those trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy.
