Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) a. is secreted by females but not by males. b. stimulates the seminiferous tubules to produce sperm. c. secretion is controlled by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) d. Both b and c are correct.
Which activity is a step in the ovarian cycle? a. FSH stimulates the pituitary to release GnRH. b. When FSH and LH levels fall, the corpus luteum shrinks and the uterine lining breaks down. c. Luteinizing hormone stimulates the uterus to make progesterone. d. Estrogen levels initially have a positive feedback effect on the pituitary, which is followed by higher estrogen levels causing negative feedback. A fully developed corpus luteum inhibits uterine lining growth.
