Solution

Estrogen:

  1. The female reproductive system's growth and control, as well as secondary sex traits, are influenced by a class of sex hormones called estrogens.
  2. The majority of the estrogen hormones are produced by a woman's ovaries, however, minor quantities are also produced by her adrenal glands and fat cells.

FSH:

  1. The pituitary gland, a tiny gland situated under the brain, secretes follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
  2. The growth and operation of the sexual organs are significantly influenced by FSH.
  3. FSH encourages the development of eggs in the ovaries and aids in the regulation of the menstrual cycle in females.
  4. The growth of follicles is regulated by this hormone.
  5. The levels of estrogen and female hormone are raised as a result of this hormone.
  6. The result of follicle-stimulating hormone's complimentary activity is normal follicular development.
  7. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which initiates follicle formation and influences the amount of estrogen, the main female hormone, is produced by the pituitary gland under the direction of GnRH.
  8. The stimulation of an increase in estrogen concentrations is brought on by follicle-stimulating hormone.
