Solution
Ovarian Follicle:
- Also called the Graafian follicle, this is an enlarged enclosure that envelops a cavity containing the egg.
- The pituitary gland is responsible for stimulating the development of ovarian follicles.
- It secretes the follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), which further stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles.
- Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) is secreted by the hypothalamus which stimulates the secretion of FSH (gonadotropins) from the pituitary gland.
