Detailed explanation-1: -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. In men, FSH helps control the production of sperm.

Detailed explanation-2: -In women, FSH helps control the menstrual cycle and the production of eggs by the ovaries. The amount of FSH varies throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle and is highest just before she releases an egg (ovulates).

Detailed explanation-3: -Leutinizing hormone (LH), the other reproductive pituitary hormone, aids in egg maturation and provides the hormonal trigger to cause ovulation and the release of eggs from the ovary.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The pituitary gland makes FSH to make a follicle grow. A follicle is a small cyst that contains the egg. Usually, FSH levels are lowest in the beginning of the menstrual cycle and then go up, causing a follicle to grow and the egg to mature. As this happens, the follicle releases estradiol.
