Y chromosome triggers male development
Testosterone in males
Prompts development of wolffian ducts into male internal organs
A scene of testosterone
Leads to wolffian duct atrophy
Müllerian ducts develop into female internal organs
Male development of external organs
Testosterone converts to DHR (5 a-dihydrotestosterone) leading to male genitalia development (penis, urethra, and scrotum)
Female development of external organs
Absence of testosterone results in clitoris and labia formations
GnRH
- source: hypothalamus
-stimulates:FSH and LH production
-regulates release of FSH and LH by anterior pituitary gland
FSH
Source: anterior pituitary
Stimulates follicle growth, maturation and estrogen production in females
Stimulates sperm production in males
LH
Source: anterior pituitary
-Triggers ovulation in females
-transforms ruptured follicle into corpus luteum
-stimulates production of progesterone by corpus luteum
-stimulates primary oocyte to complete first meiotic division to become secondary oocyte
-stimulates sperm production
