Male reproductive functions are controlled mainly by hormones from the hypothalamus and?
Male reproductive functions are controlled mainly by hormones from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. These hormones stimulate the production of testosterone in the testes, which is responsible for sperm production, sex drive, and secondary sexual characteristics. The hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which triggers the pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to regulate testosterone production.
How lack of lipids affects hormone production?
hormones are mainly steroids. they produced from cholesterol so if lipid content is reduced in body there will be a reduced hormone synthesise.

What is the hormone that stimulates RBC formation?
The production of red blood cells is stimulated by erythropoietin, which is produced in the kidneys.The production of white blood cells is stimulated by mainly colony-stimulating factor, which is produced by endothelial cells and marrow fibroblasts.The production of platelets is stimulated by thrombopoietin, which is produced in the liver and kidneys.
Hormone that regulates the rate erythrocyte production is called?
The hormone that regulates the rate of erythrocyte (red blood cell) production is called erythropoietin. It is produced mainly by the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels in the blood. Erythropoietin stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells to increase oxygen delivery to tissues.
What hormone plays an important role in incubating a speical group of white blood cells?
The hormone is called erythropoietin (EPO), and it plays a vital role in the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. This hormone is produced mainly by the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels in the blood.
What hormones stimulate sperm production?
In the male, the principal sex hormones are the androgens, of which testosterone is the most important. The androgens are steroid hormones produced mainly by the Leydig cells(interstitial cells located near the seminiferous tubules) of the Testes. Testosterone and other androgens are directly responsible for the primary and secondary sex characteristics of the male. In addition to specific sexual behaivor and sex drive the androgens also increase general agressiveness, and are respnsible for vocal behaivor such as singing in birds and calling in frogs. With the hormonal control of the male system the Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete two gonadotropic hormones with different effects on the testes. One hormone is luteinizing hormone (LH) which acts on the Leydig cells which produce androgens mainly testosterone. The other hormone is follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) which acts on Sertoli cells that nourish developing sperm cells this in turn will produce sperm.
What are the two principal functions of the testis?
The two principal functions of the testis are sperm production through spermatogenesis and hormone production, mainly testosterone, which is responsible for male sexual characteristics and reproductive functions.
