Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of hormones in the female reproductive system: Hormones regulate various functions, including the menstrual cycle and ovulation.
Identify the key hormones involved in the menstrual cycle: Estrogen, Progesterone, Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and Luteinizing hormone (LH).
Recognize the function of Luteinizing hormone (LH): LH is crucial for triggering ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary.
Differentiate between the roles of the hormones: Estrogen and Progesterone prepare the uterine lining, while FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles.
Conclude that Luteinizing hormone (LH) is responsible for triggering ovulation, as it causes the mature follicle to release an egg.
