Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

What hormones are releases by the Pituitary Gland?

A	FSH, Oestrogen, LH and Progesterone
B	FSH, Oestrogen, and Progesterone
C	FSH, LH and Progesterone
D	FSH and LH

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Gonadotropin-releasing hormone causes the pituitary gland in the brain to make and secrete the hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In men, these hormones cause the testicles to make testosterone. In women, they cause the ovaries to make estrogen and progesterone.

Detailed explanation-2: -FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)-stimulates ovarian follicle production in women; stimulates sperm production in men. LH (luteinizing hormone)-stimulates ovaries to produce estrogen in women; stimulates sperm production in men.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus begins the process of ovulation by releasing GnRH in a pulsatile fashion. This pulsatile release causes the anterior pituitary to release LH and FSH, which then act on the ovarian follicle.
