Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ovulation occurs due to a surge in the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. LH triggers the release of the mature egg from the ovary into the fallopian tube for fertilization. While estrogen and follicle stimulation hormones also play a role in the menstrual cycle, LH is the hormone responsible for ovulation. Progesterone and hCG are hormones involved in the maintenance of pregnancy, not ovulation.
