Do follicles cause ovulation? if no, what does? if yes, does the follicle size matter?

No: Ovulation is a result of hormonal cycles and not follicle size.

Follicles: Contain the developing eggs which can be "ovulated" when certain hormonal sequences occur. But it's your body releasing a surge of luteinizing hormone that stimulates ovulation.
