Summary Introduction

Introduction:

In the ovary, the ovum is surrounded by hormone-secreting cells that together comprise the follicle. The ovarian follicle secrets estrogen which provides positive feedback on the hypothalamus to secret hormone-like LH and FSH. The hormone LH shows an important role in ovulation. The ovulation is a mechanism where mature ovum release from the ovary comes to the fallopian tube for fertilization.
