Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is secreted by the pars distalis region of he anterior pituitary. In the ovary, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicle. As the follicle grows and matures, it releases an inhibitory hormone known as inhibin that ends the process of FSH production.
