    Ovulation

    Explanation:

    In women, luteinizing hormone carries out different roles in the two halves of the menstrual cycle

    In week one to two of the cycle, luteinizing hormone is required to stimulate the ovarian follicles in the ovary to produce the female sex hormone, oestradiol Around day 14 of the cycle, a surge in luteinizing hormone levels causes the ovarian follicle to tear and release a mature oocyte (egg) from the ovary, a process called ovulation For the remainder of the cycle (weeks three to four), the remnants of the ovarian follicle forms a corpus luteum Luteinizing hormone stimulates the corpus luteum to produce progesterone, which is required to support the early stages of pregnancy, if fertilization occurs
