Ovary under stimulus of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) produces
A
oxytocin
B
estrogen
C
thyroxine
D
testosterone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The specific beta subunit confers the unique biologic activity. FSH and LH bind to receptors in the testis and ovary and regulate gonadal function by promoting sex steroid production and gametogenesis. In men, LH stimulates testosterone production from the interstitial cells of the testes (Leydig cells).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are required to obtain full reproductive potential. In the testis, somatic Sertoli cells transduce signals from testosterone and FSH into the production of factors that are required by germ cells as they mature into spermatozoa.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Hypothalamus and the Pituitary It is released in a rhythmic fashion every 60 to 120 minutes. GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the hormone responsible for starting follicle (egg) development and causing the level of estrogen, the primary female hormone, to rise.
