Pituitary hormone responsible for the formation of the corpus luteum; together with FSH this hormone stimulates the follicle to secret estrogen. malleus - the outermost of the three ear ossicles; derived from te articular bone.

LH - Triggers final follicle maturation and ovulation in the middle of the cycle

Hormone produced by the pituitary gland that causes a woman's graafian follicles to release eggs. After releasing eggs these follicles become progesterone-releasing "corpora lutea." In men, LH causes testosterone-secreting cells in the testes to develop. Another name for LH is interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH).

A hormone produced by the pituitary gland, in women it is responsible for the monthly release of an egg. In men, LH is responsible for starting the production of testosterone.

A hormone produced and released by the pituitary; helps in egg development, hormone production and ovulation.

hormone that promotes the release of sex hormones by the ovary

Pituitary hormone responsible for the final steps in egg maturation and expulsion from the ovarian follicle.  This hormone is also responsible for stimulating progesterone secretion from the ovulated follicle (corpus luteum) after ovulation has occurred and maintaining progesterone secretion from the ovary until adequate hCG is produced in early pregnancy.
