The major hormones in the male reproductive system are:
1. Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) is mainly made in the hypothalamus from where it travels to the pituitary gland where it stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the gonadotropins which are follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.
2. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland. It is necessary for the maturation of spermatozoa.
3. Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is released by the anterior pituitary gland. In the testes, LH
stimulates the synthesis and secretion of testosterone. It also stimulates the testes to produce the hormone androgen.
4. Testosterone is made in the interstitial cells. It stimulates the sex drive.
5. Inhibin is made by the Sertoli cells when they are low in nutrients in order to feed developing sperm cells. It acts as a negative feedback, going to the brain to slow the release of FSH and GnRH.
Testosterone, produced by the testes, stimulates spermatogenesis.
Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm production in males that occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. It is divided into three phases: proliferation, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. The process is regulated by hormones including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone. FSH stimulates the production of sperm, LH triggers testosterone production, and testosterone is essential for spermatogenesis to occur.
Inhibin is a hormone that specifically suppresses spermatogenesis without affecting testosterone secretion. It is produced by the Sertoli cells in the testes and acts to inhibit the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland, which is necessary for sperm production. This helps to regulate the balance of hormones involved in male reproductive function.
The Pituitary produces: 1. Leutenizing Hormone. 2. Follicle Stimulating Hormone. In both males and Females. However, their acitions are different in the sexes. In males: Leutenizing hormone in males stimulates testes to secrete Testosterone. Follicle stimulating Hormone brings about Spermatogenesis.
One hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus is corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). This hormone is responsible for stimulating the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland, which then triggers the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands.
In men, follicle stimulating hormone starts spermatogenesis. This hormone is also abbreviated FSH.
LH(Leutenizing Hormone) hormone induces the process of spermatogenesis.
Testosterone, produced by the testes, stimulates spermatogenesis.
Spermatogenesis is stimulated dy FSH.Other hormone is LH

It acts on inferior pitutory.It triggers secretion of growth hormone.
the hormone FSH ( Follice Stimulating Hormone) triggers the menses (period) in a healthy female. During the menses, the uterine lining is being shed.
GnRH
Inhibin is a hormone that specifically suppresses spermatogenesis without affecting testosterone secretion. It is produced by the Sertoli cells in the testes and acts to inhibit the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland, which is necessary for sperm production.
