Briefly mention the mechanism of action of FSH.

Explanation

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.
Action of FS: Follicle stimulating hormone produces its effect by binding to its specific receptors present in the ovarian cell membrane.
Binding of FSH hormone to its receptor leads to the formation of hormone receptor complex. The ovarian follicle nature and release a mature ovum in the fallopian tube for fertilization.
