Chapter 36.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The similar function of FSH and LH in male and female body in human.
Introduction:
FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) are synthesized by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. When secreted it helps in regulation of the sexual development, pubertal maturation, growth, and in reproductive processes in the individual.

Students have asked these similar questions
In the anterior pituitary region, do you see multiple cell types in each follicle or does each follicle contain a
single cell type? How can you tell each cell type apart from one another? Hint: think about the names and
staining.
List all the hormones of the male reproductive system and specify functions of each?
If the ovum is not fertilized, the corpus luteum regresses, and the endometrium sloughs off to result in the first day of menstrual bleeding. The latter event would be duplicated, even if fertilization occurred, if receptors for which of the following hormones were occupied by an antagonist?
A) Dehydroepiandrosterone
B) Estradiol
C ) Estriol
D) Estrone
E) Progesterone
