Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Granulosa cells are responsible for producing and secreting estrogen during follicle development. Progesterone is primarily produced by the corpus luteum after ovulation, while FSH and LH are hormones that stimulate follicle development and ovulation but are not directly produced by the granulosa cells. GnRH is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the pituitary gland.
