Question

luteinizing hormone action
what is the effect of the luteinizing hormone (lh) on the ovary?
○ ovulation and maintenance of corpus luteum
○ milk let - down
○ uterine contraction
○ follicular development

Explanation:

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a key hormone in the female reproductive system. In the ovary, a surge of LH triggers ovulation (the release of an egg from the follicle). After ovulation, LH also helps maintain the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone to support a potential pregnancy. Milk let - down is mainly related to oxytocin. Uterine contraction during childbirth is regulated by oxytocin as well. Follicular development is primarily influenced by follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH), although LH also plays a role in the later stages of follicular development, but its main role in the ovary in terms of the options given is ovulation and corpus luteum maintenance.

Answer:

Ovulation and maintenance of corpus luteum
