What organ secretes follicle stimulating hormone?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein gonadotropin secreted by the anterior pituitary in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is released by the hypothalamus.
What are the five most important female reproductive hormones?
EstrogenProgesteroneFollicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)Luteinizing hormone (LH)Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
What is a medical term meaning capable of stimulating the gonads?
Gonadotropic means capable of stimulating the gonads.
What ias the difference between gonadal hormone and gonadotropin?
Gonadal hormones are those hormones that are actually released from the gonads (ex. estrogen, testosterone). Gonadotropins are hormones that CAUSE the release of gonadal hormones, gonadotropins are released from the anterior pituitary gland(tropin means "releasing" so gonadotropin is a gonad hormone releasing hormone) an example of this would be FSH-- follicle stimulating hormone.
What hormones is responsible for stimulating the development of ova and sperm?
i don't know about the ova but the hormones that are responsible for stimulating sperm production are Gonadotropin, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, testosterone and Luteinizing. Hope that helps.
What does gonadotropin releasing hormone do?
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone causes the pituitary gland in the brain to make and secrete the hormones luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In men, these hormones cause the testicles to make testosterone. In women, they cause the ovaries to make estrogen and progesterone.
What hormone leads to the maturation of both sperm and egg?
The first hormone that is involved in the maturation of the egg and sperm is the gonadotropin - releasing hormone(GnHR). This hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus, and it stimulates release of two gonadotropin hormones released by the pituatury gland. The leutenizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). And these two pituatury gland gonadotropins are the key hormones for the maturation of egg and sperm.
How is FSH stimulated?
During the Luteal phase of the menstrual cycle there is a decrease in the levels of Estrogen (Estradiol) and Progesterone which causes stimulation of Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH).
What hormone stimulates the gonads?
The release of Follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH) and Luteinizing hormone(LH) stimulates cells in the testes to produce Testosterone.
What hormone is released only during pregnancy?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is released only during pregnancy.
What hormones control the secretion of FSH?
There are 2 hormones that regulate the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH):activin = stimulates (or "activates") the secretion of FSHinhibin = inhibits the secretion of FSH
What is the function of GnRH?
GnRH, short for gonadotropin-releasing hormone, is released by the part of the brain known as the hypothalamus. At the beginning of the menstual cycle, the hypothalamus releases GnRH. The GnRH then stimulates a different part of the brain, the pituitary gland, to produce two hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
