What regulates the production of sperm?
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) causes the Sertoli cells of the testes (which help nurse developing sperm cells). This begins the process of spermatogenesis in the testes.
Development of sperm is stimulated by?
Being healthy is the only real stimulant of production of spermatozoa. (Sperm cells).
What are Sertoli cells stimulated by?
Sertoli cells, which are found in the testes, are stimulated primarily by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which is produced by the pituitary gland. FSH acts on the Sertoli cells to promote sperm production and development, as well as to maintain the microenvironment necessary for sperm maturation.
How do the pituitary affect the functions of the testes?
They have absolute control over the testes. The pituitary releases gonadotropines called follicule stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) which binds cell membrane receptors in the testes cells which then stimulates the production of testosterone. It also stimulates cell division (meiosis) in the testes for production of spermatozoa.

A man has been told that he is not synthesizing enough follicle-stimulating hormone FSH and for this reason he may be unable to father a child Choose the correct statement to explain this problem?
FSH stimulates sperm production in the testes.
What does FSH cause?
It causes an egg to mature in the ovary and stimulates the production of oestrogen.
The amount of testosterone and sperm produced by the testes is dependent on the influence of FSH alone?
False

FSH stimulates sperm production in the testes.
What is testosterone stimulated by?
To stimulate testosterone production, the hypothalamus releases a substance to the pituitary gland called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This hormone, in turn, causes the gland to produce two other hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), collectively known as gonadotropins. LH is released into the bloodstream where it travels to the male testes and triggers the production of testosterone from cholesterol. If this process continues until the testosterone level becomes too high, the pituitary slows the release of LH so production slows down. FSH is similarly involved in the increase and decrease in sperm production.
What is the FSH?
FSH :-abbreviation for follicle stimulating harmone.
A function of FSH in the male is to?
The Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in males is responsible for triggering sperm production.
