Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ovulation is stimulated by the hormone LH (luteinizing hormone), which triggers the release of a mature egg from the ovary during the menstrual cycle. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and estrogen play important roles in the menstrual cycle but do not directly stimulate ovulation. Progesterone is involved in preparing the uterus for pregnancy after ovulation has occurred.
