ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -FSH stimulates granulosa cells in the ovarian follicles to synthesize aromatase, which converts androgens produced by the thecal cells to estradiol.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The follicular phase ends with the abrupt elevation of serum LH (and FSH) levels that causes the rupture of the follicle and the release of its mature oocyte (ovulation).
