Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland and is responsible for initiating the development of follicles in the ovaries, which eventually release mature egg cells. LH (luteinizing hormone) also plays a role in ovulation, but its primary function is to stimulate the production of progesterone in the ovaries. ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) and GH (growth hormone) are not directly involved in the development of egg cells in the ovaries.
