MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Estrogens are produced primarily by the ovaries. They are released by the follicles on the ovaries and are also secreted by the corpus luteum after the egg has been released from the follicle and from the placenta.

Detailed explanation-2: -Estrogens. The major estrogen is estradiol, which, in addition to small amounts of estrone and estriol, is produced primarily in the ovaries. Other production sites of estrogens include the corpus luteum, 2 the placenta, and the adrenal glands.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Hypothalamus and the Pituitary It is released in a rhythmic fashion every 60 to 120 minutes.
