Human Reproduction Problem Set
Problem 1: Hormone released by hypothalamus
The hormone released by the area of the brain known as the hypothalamus beginning at the onset of sexual maturity in both males and females is:
A.
|
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
|
B.
|
lutenizing hormone (LH)
|
C.
|
progesterone
|
D.
|
gonadotropin releasing hormone
GnRH is needed for sexual maturity and normal reproduction. GnRH acts by stimulating the release of luteneizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary. These two gonadotropins act by stimulating the production of sex hormones in the gonads (testes and ovary).

E.
|
testosterone
