LH (luteinizing hormone) is required for ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone to maintain the uterine lining for potential pregnancy. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) plays a role in follicular development but is not directly responsible for ovulation or corpus luteum formation. TSH, prolactin, and MSH have no direct involvement in the menstrual cycle.
