D
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of the corpus luteum: The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure involved in the production of progesterone, which is crucial for maintaining the uterine lining for a potential pregnancy.
Identify the process of ovulation: Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary, and it is triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH).
Recognize the transformation of the follicle: After ovulation, the ruptured follicle transforms into the corpus luteum. This transformation is stimulated by the presence of LH.
Differentiate between the hormones: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is involved in thyroid function, prolactin is primarily associated with milk production, and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in the growth of ovarian follicles. None of these directly regulate the formation of the corpus luteum.
Conclude the regulatory hormone: Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for both triggering ovulation and stimulating the formation of the corpus luteum from the ruptured follicle.
