The hormone primarily responsible for female development is estrogen.
Estrogen plays a crucial role in:
- Puberty: It triggers the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts, wider hips, and pubic hair.
- Menstrual Cycle: Estrogen regulates the menstrual cycle, influencing the growth and release of eggs from the ovaries.
- Pregnancy: Estrogen is essential for maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
While estrogen is the primary female hormone, other hormones, such as progesterone, also contribute to female development.
