Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Estrogen
Concept:

The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis relies on a chain of signaling hormones.

Solution:

  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary targets the ovaries.


  • Specifically, FSH stimulates the granulosa cells surrounding the growing primary and secondary follicles.


  • In response to this stimulation, these follicular cells synthesize and secrete estrogen into the bloodstream.


Why other options are incorrect:

Progesterone is released primarily in response to LH forming the corpus luteum. Oxytocin and ADH are released from the posterior pituitary and are not regulated by FSH.
