What hormone affect the reproductive system?
This is quite a complicated question. Hormones are chemicals produced in one part of the body that causes changes elsewhere in the body. Around puberty, the pituitary gland, along with the hypothalamus produces hormones to turn on the gonads (ovaries or testes). Hormones target hormone receptors which are either on the cell walls or on the nucleus, and the receptors tell the cells to alter their function. Then the gonads start producing hormones which are testosterone in male and estrogen and progesterone in females. Those hormones target the receptors designed for them, and those cells alter in function or even multiply in number. For instance, there are stem cells for breast growth, and in females, the estrogen tells those cells to unpack part of their DNA to use, and also to divide and thus proliferate. Also, it is estrogen that causes the bone growth to finish, and yes, in males too. Males only produce estrogen as excessive testosterone is broken down. So the bone caps close later than in females.
