Which of the following hormones is responsible for the thickening of the endometrium?

Correct Answer: C. Estrogen
Follicle stimulating hormone causes the follicle in the ovary to begin to divide to complete meiosis II. The growing follicle that will eventually release the egg during ovulation secretes estrogen. The estrogen then spurs the secretion of luteinizing hormone by the anterior pituitary gland, causing the follicle to rupture and release the egg. It is the estrogen and progesterone that is responsible for readying the endometrium for implantation should fertilization occur.
