There are a few hormones that act on the gonads and they are different for both the male and female reproductive systems.
In females, the gonads are the ovaries. The hormones include:
- Estrogen - This promotes the production of secondary sex characteristics and sex drive.
- Progesterone - This hormone helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy.
- Inhibin - This hormone inhibits the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone.
In males, the gonads are the testes. Their corresponding hormones include:
- Testosterone - This stimulates spermatogenesis, growth, and maturation of sperm as well as the production of secondary sex characteristics.
- Inhibin - This hormone inhibits the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone.
