| secretes ABP and inhibin; forms blood-testis barrier; supports and protects developing spermatogenic cells | |
| stimulates release of LH and FSH | |
| Inhibits release of FSH by anterior pituitary gland | |
| Inihibits release of LH; stimulates protein synthesis, contributes to sex drive | |
| what ovaries produce | |
| secretes progesterone, estrogens, relaxin, and inhibin | |
| hormones responsible for proliferation phase of endometrial growth and mid cycle surge of LH; lowers cholesterol | |
| hormones responsible for proliferation phase of ovulation and growth of corpus luteum | |
| | Think Endocrine, Reproductive, and Lymph | answer |
| surge of this hormone tirggers ovulation in females and secretion of testosterone in males | |
| high levels of estorgen from almost mature follicles stimulate release of this | |
| hormones from this region regulate ovarian function | |
| hormones from this region regulate changes in the endometrial lining of the uterus | |
| group of cells that nourish developing oocyte and begin to secrete estrogens | |
| posterior pituitary hormone responsible for uterine contraction and release of milk from mammary glands | |
| maintains the corpus luteum during first trimester of pregnancy | |
| stimulates the initial secretion of estrogens by growing follicles; promotes follicle growth | |
| secreted by corpus luteum; maintain the uterine lining during first trimester of pregnancy | |
