MICROANATOMY

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. It occurs on about day 14 of a 28-day 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 the female, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles by acting directly on the receptors located on the granulosa cells; follicular steroidogenesis is promoted and LH production is stimulated. The LH produced then binds to the theca cells and stimulates steroidogenesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pituitary gland is responsible for stimulating the development of ovarian follicles. It secretes the follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), which further stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) helps control a woman’s menstrual cycle and egg production and also a man’s sperm production.
