Question 2 of 5
Which hormone is responsible for stimulating the growth and development of the ovarian follicles?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is responsible for stimulating the growth and development of ovarian follicles by promoting the recruitment and maturation of follicles in the ovaries. It plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and is essential for the production of estrogen. Estrogen, choice A, is produced as a result of FSH action on the ovarian follicles. Progesterone, choice B, is produced after ovulation by the corpus luteum and is not directly involved in follicle growth. Luteinizing hormone (LH), choice D, triggers ovulation but does not stimulate follicle development.
