ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -In women, FSH helps control the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs in the ovaries. FSH levels in women change throughout the menstrual cycle, with the highest levels happening just before an egg is released by the ovary. This is known as ovulation. In men, FSH helps control the production of sperm.

Detailed explanation-2: -In women, FSH helps control the menstrual cycle and the production of eggs by the ovaries. The amount of FSH varies throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle and is highest just before she releases an egg (ovulates).

Detailed explanation-3: -Specifically, FSH stimulates follicles on the ovary to grow and prepare the eggs for ovulation. As the follicles increase in size, they begin to release estrogen and a low level of progesterone into your blood. Ovulation is a phase in the menstrual cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The production and release of follicle stimulating hormone is regulated by the levels of a number of circulating hormones released by the ovaries and testes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ovarian Steroid Hormone Synthesis. Ovarian follicles synthesize and secrete steroid hormones that play essential roles in the female. All three major classes of reproductive steroid hormones-estrogens, progestins, and androgens-are produced by follicles.
