Question

Name the hormone that regulates the maturation of Graffian follicle

Answer 1

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) stimulates the Graafian follicle, causing its growth and maturation. FSH also triggers the production of estrogen in the follicle. The rise in estrogen sends a signal to the pituitary gland to stop producing FSH and to start making more LH. The shift to LH causes the egg to be released from the ovary, a process called ovulation.
