Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is necessary for the development of ovarian follicles, which contain the egg cells. Estrogen also plays a direct role in this process by promoting the growth and maturation of the follicles. LH (luteinizing hormone) and progesterone are important for ovulation and the later stages of the menstrual cycle, but do not play a direct role in the development of the egg cells.
