Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of hormones in the female reproductive system: Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle and are crucial for ovulation and reproduction.
Identify the key hormones involved in the menstrual cycle: These include Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Estrogen, and Progesterone.
Learn the function of each hormone: FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles, Estrogen helps in the thickening of the uterine lining, Progesterone maintains the uterine lining, and LH triggers ovulation.
Focus on the role of Luteinizing hormone (LH): LH is responsible for the final maturation of the ovarian follicle and triggers the release of the egg from the ovary, a process known as ovulation.
Conclude that Luteinizing hormone (LH) is the hormone that directly triggers ovulation in the female reproductive system.
