Hormone triggering ovulation

Today we are going to determine which hormone is responsible for triggering ovulation. Let's look at the roles of the hormones mentioned in the options to find the correct answer.

Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary. This process is part of the menstrual cycle and is strictly regulated by hormones from the pituitary gland and the ovaries.

Let's break down the four options provided. First, we have Follicle Stimulating Hormone, or F S H. Its main job is to stimulate the growth of ovarian follicles during the start of the cycle, not the actual release of the egg.

Next, let's look at Estrogen. As follicles grow, they secrete estrogen. High levels of estrogen eventually signal the pituitary gland to release the main trigger for ovulation.
