Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is responsible for the ____
A
production of milk
B
production of sperm
C
release of eggs by the ovaries
D
response in an emergency
Explanation: 

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: -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. This system is called the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis.

Detailed explanation-3: -LH and FSH promote ovulation and stimulate secretion of the sex hormones estradiol (an estrogen) and progesterone from the ovaries. Estrogen and progesterone circulate in the bloodstream almost entirely bound to plasma proteins.
