A. Vagina
B. Ovary
C. Uterus
D. Fallopian Tube

Respuesta :

The answer is:
B. Ovary

Answer:

B. Ovary

Explanation:

The production of female sex hormones occurs in the ovary, through the stimulus produced by the hypothalamus that releases hormonal factors that will act on the pituitary gland. This action results in the release of the follicle stimulating hormone and the luteinizing hormone that will be transported to the ovary.

When the follicle stimulating hormone reaches the ovary, it stimulates the secretion of estrogen, which is the female sex hormone, this secretion is done through the maturation of follicular cells. When the luteinizing hormone reaches the ovary, it promotes greater production of estrogen, induces ovulation and disrupts follicular cells.
