Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -FSH stimulates granulosa cells in the ovarian follicles to synthesize aromatase, which converts androgens produced by the thecal cells to estradiol.
Detailed explanation-2: -LH in synergy with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates follicular growth and ovulation. Thus, normal follicular growth is the result of complementary action of FSH and LH.
Detailed explanation-3: -FSH, as its name suggests, stimulates follicles in the ovaries. This causes an immature egg cell, the female gamete or sex cell, to develop. In addition, it stimulates the ovaries to produce and release a different hormone called estrogen.
