Which structures secrete hormones that regulate the development of secondary sex characteristics?
gonadotrophins, glucocorticoidsand growth hormones
What structures produce hormones?
what structures produces hormmones
What is the hormones is responsible for the development of secondary sexual characteristics of females?
estrogen= female testosterome=male
What is the Ultimate control of testes development?
The ultimate control of testes development lies in the genetic factors that determine the development and differentiation of male-specific structures. The presence of the Y chromosome, which carries the SRY gene, triggers the development of testes in embryos. These testes then produce hormones, such as testosterone, which further shape the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics.
Development of male reproductive structures depends on what events?
secretion of male hormones prenatally and lasting into the first few months after birth
What is the hormone responsible for the development and maintenance of female secondary sexual characteristic?
There are two hormones. For males it is testosterone and for females it is mainly estrogen.
What is development stimulated by sex hormones?
development stimulated by sex hormones
What hormones drives development of secondary sexual characteristics?
In boys, it is primarily testosterone, in girls it is a mainly a combination of progesterone and estrogen.
What are the functions of estrogen?
Any of several steroid hormones produced chiefly by the ovaries and responsible for promoting estrus and the development and maintenance of female secondary sex characteristics.
What hormone is responsible for male facial hair and muscle development?
The hormone responsible for male facial hair and muscle development is testosterone. Testosterone is produced primarily in the testes and is responsible for the development and maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics in males, such as facial hair growth and increased muscle mass.
Does synthroid affect breast growth?
No. Thyroid replacement medications are not known to affect normal breast development. (Secondary sex characteristics are influenced by the sex hormones, not the thyroid hormones.) Hope this answer is helpful, and reassuring, if you or a friend or family member are concerned about this issue.
What structure releases hormones that regulate secondary sex characteristics?
gonadotrophins, glucocorticoidsand growth hormones
