Q
LH
A
- Secreted by anterior pituitary
- Male and female
- Male: stimulate interstitial cells to produce testosterone
Female: stimulates ovulation, formation of corpus luteum, and
progestin secretion
1
Q
FSH
A
- Secreted by anterior pituitary
- Male and female
- Male: stimulates spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis
Female: stimulates follicle development, estrogen production, and
Oocyte maturation
2
Q
Inhibin
A
- Secreted by nurse cells and granulosa cells
- Male and female
- Inhibits secretion of FSH
3
Q
Testosterone
A
- Secreted by interstitial cells
- Male only
- Establish and maintain male secondary sex characteristics and sexual
behavior; promote maturation of spermatozoa; inhibit GnRH secretion
4
Q
Estrogens
A
- Secreted by granulosa and thecal cells of corpus luteum
- Female only
- Stimulates LH secretion; establish and maintain female secondary sex
characteristics and sexual behavior; stimulates repair and growth of
endometrium; ^ frequency of GnRH pulses
5
Q
Progesterone
A
- Secreted by granulosa cells
- Female only
- Stimulates endometrial growth and glandular secretion; decreases
frequency of GnRH pulses
