a hormone produced in the hypothalamus of the brain that stimulates the release of two other hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), from the pituitary gland.

Question 37

FSH

Answer 37

a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a crucial role in reproductive health in both males and females

Question 38

Inhibin

Answer 38

Inhibits FSH production and suppresses secretion of GnRH
