Question

Ovulation is controlled mainly by .............. hormone.

• A. Estrogen
• B. Progesterone
• C. Luteinizing hormone
• D. Prolactin

Answer 1

The correct option is C Luteinizing hormone

• Ovulation is the release of eggs from the ovaries. In humans, this event occurs when the ovarian follicles rupture and release the secondary oocyte ovarian cells.
  
• The process of ovulation is controlled by the hypothalamus of the brain and through the release of hormones secreted in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
• Hence Ovulation is controlled mainly by luteinizing hormone.
• So, the correct answer is 'Luteinizing hormone'.
