Hormones in Gametogenesis

?
LH in Males
Binds to cells in the testes triggering the release of testosterone
1 of 8
FSH in males
Binds to cells in the testes (Sertoli cells) to make them more receptive to testosterone
2 of 8
LH in females
Binds to follicle cells in the ovaries, causing them to mature and release oestrogen. A surge of LH causes a secondary oocyte to be released from the mature follicle
3 of 8
FSH in females
Binds to follicle cells in the ovaries causing them to mature and release oestrogen
4 of 8
Testosterone in males
Binds to Sertoli cells, triggering spermatogenesis inhibits LH
5 of 8
Inhibin in males
Inhibits FSH
6 of 8
Progesterone in females
Inhibits LH and FSH
7 of 8
Oestrogen in females
Rising levels inhibits FSH and cause a surge in LH
