Answers (1)

Pituitary hormones:

FSH - These are the gonadotropins as they cause follicular development, secretion of estrogen by growing follicles.

LH - induces rupture of Graafian follicle/ovulation and after that, the remaining part of Graafian follicle transforms into corpus luteum which releases hormone-like: progesterone.

Ovarian hormone:

Estrogen- It helps in the growth and maturation of the follicle, as it is necessary for repair of the endometrium.

Progesterone - It is necessary for the maintenance of the endometrium for implantation.
