MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the ovaries, estrogens help to stimulate the growth of the egg follicle; they also stimulate the pituitary gland in the brain to release hormones that assist in follicular development.

Detailed explanation-3: -Estrogen plays a role in ovulation (when your ovaries release an egg) and thickens the lining of your uterus (endometrium) to prepare it for pregnancy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Testosterone stimulates sperm production in males. Other hormones involved in the menstrual cycle include: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), causing maturation of an egg in the ovary. Luteinising hormone (LH) stimulating the release of the egg.

Detailed explanation-5: -The hypothalamus secretes GnRH in a pulsatile fashion, which triggers FSH and LH release from the anterior pituitary. These, in turn, act on the granulosa and theca cells in the ovary to stimulate follicle maturation and trigger ovulation.
