What is the function of interstitial cell-stimulating hormone?
ICSH aka Gonadotrophin. Produced by the anterior pituitary gland, it stimulates the production of Testosterone from the Leydig cells (aka Insterstitial cells) in males and assists with ovulation in females.
What is a mans gland?
The only gland that is exclusive to men are the testes which produce a hormone called testosterone. Testosterone is responsible for sperm production and it also stimulates development of the secondary sex characteristics of males such as a deeper voice, facial hair, a enlargement or dropping of the reproductive organs.
What does pituitary gland have to do with male and female reproduction?
The pituitary gland plays a crucial role in both male and female reproduction. It produces hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which are essential for the development and maturation of eggs in females and sperm in males. In females, LH triggers ovulation and the release of eggs, while FSH stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles. In males, LH stimulates the production of testosterone, while FSH promotes the production of sperm in the testes.
What gland secretes sperm?
The pituitary gland secretes FSH and LH. FSH is in charge of stimulating the gonads to produce the gametes (eggs and sperms). However, in males testosterone is needs to produce "good" sperm. LH stimulates a specific group of cells called Leydig cells (intersitial cells) to produce testosterone.
A sudden surge in lh concentration causes?
a surge of testosterone in males and it causes ovulation in females.
Stimulates LH release by anterior pituitary?
inhibin and estrogen in females, inhibin and testosterone in males
What does the Leutinizing hormone in males stimulate?
Leutinizing hormone in males stimulates the production of androgens (another type of hormone) by Leydig cells in the testes. The most important androgen it stimulates is testosterone which encourages health and well being in males.
When do the sex organs develop rapidly?
In females, when stimulated by Luteinizing Hormone of the Pituitary Gland as it prepares for ovulation, the ovaries produce Estrogen. In males, the leydig cells produce testosterone also under the stimulation of pituitary hormones starting puberty.
What gland is testosterone in?
Testosterone in males is produced primarily in the testes. In females, small amounts are produced in the ovaries. The adrenal glands in both sexes also produce a smaller amount of testosterone.
What are the predominant hormones in males?

What gland affects puberty?
