In the male reproductive system, the pituitary hormone _____ stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone, and the pituitary
hormone _____ stimulates Sertoli cells to secrete protein and other molecules required for spermatogenesis. a. FSH; GnRH b. FSH; testosterone c. GnRH; FSH d. LH; inhibin e. LH; FSH
<u>Luteinizing hormone </u>(LH) stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone
<u>Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)</u> stimulates Sertoli cells to secrete protein and other molecules required for spermatogenesis
Explanation:
Under the influence of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the anterior pituitary releases luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, LH stimulates interstitial cells of testes (Leydig cell) to secrete the hormone testosterone. FSH acts indirectly to stimulate spermatogenesis by causing the release of androgen-binding protein (ABP) from the Sertoli cells. The function of ABP is to maintain the higher concentrations of testosterone to stimulate the final steps of spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules.
A person had roti and dal for his lunch. Trace the changes in those during its passage through the alimentary canal. Answer: ... The saliva contains an enzyme salivary amylase (ptyalin) which converts starch in roti into maltose, isomaltose and small dextrins called a-dextrin.
