53
What does FSH and LH do for males
FSH: stimulâtes production of sperm in Sertoli cells of seminiferous tubules LH: promotes testosterone production by interstitial cells

55
What stimulates secreation of milk and formation of milk
Secreation: oxytocin Formation: Prolactin
56
How does birth control pills work
Artificial hormones mimics progesterone and stops release of FSH and LH so no ovulation
