You are discussing in class how hormones are crucial for the development of various reproductive organs. For your first post, let’s start by examining the anatomy of our reproductive system. Select one region of AMAB or AFAB reproductive structures and describe the function of that region. Then describe cells, their secretions, and structural features that are specific to that region. Give your peers two hormones that you have studied as a part of the reproductive system and ask about their roles.

Step 1
I will select the **testes** in AMAB (assigned male at birth) reproductive anatomy. The primary function of the testes is to produce sperm (spermatogenesis) and secrete male sex hormones, primarily testosterone, which is essential for the development of male Show more…

TOPIC: Reproductive hormones (sex steroids) Hormones which control reproduction are secreted by the gonads. You named these hormones in questions 1 and 2. These hormones have both primary effects (effects on reproductive system structures) and secondary effects (effects on structures NOT in the reproductive systems). A. Describe the primary effects of the 2-sex steroid reproductive hormones in females. B. Describe the secondary effects of female reproductive hormones. C. Two female hormones are released by the pituitary gland after birth and they affect the mammary glands. Which hormone stimulates milk production? Which hormone stimulates milk release? D. Describe the primary effects of the sex steroid reproductive hormone in males. E. Describe the secondary effects of the male reproductive hormone.
