Question

Ovulation in humans is controlled by

• A. FSH and LTH
• B. FSH and TSH
• C. LTH and LH
• D. FSH and LH

Answer 1

The correct option is D FSH and LH

• FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) is secreted from the anterior part of pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in females and seminiferous tubules in males.
• LH (Luteinizing hormone) stimulates growth of ovarian follicles in females. In males this hormone is called interstitial cell stimulating hormone or ICSH and affects the Leydig cells of testes.

Ovulation is the release of egg or ova from the ovarian follicles. Hence, ovulation is under the influence of FSH and LH because these hormones stimulate the growth of ovarian follicles.

So, the correct answer is 'FSH and LH'.
