Gaseous nitrogen, which is captured from the atmosphere in the same process as oxygen gas, has a wide application in the chemical, food, electrical and metallurgical industries. N2 is used in large quantities in liquid form, since its gaseous form is used as an inert atmosphere.

What hormone released by the highlighted structures inhibits the secretion of FSH only?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Inhibin inhibits the secretion of FSH only.

<h3>What is the role of inhibin?</h3>
  • Inhibin is a protein mainly produced by the gonads.
  • In men it is produced by the Sertoli cells and it is produced by the granulose cells in women.
  • It negatively regulates the secretion of Follicle Stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland.
  • FSH itself induces the production of inhibin for negative feedback.
  • Pituitary is a pea shaped endocrine gland present at the base of the brain. It is the major endocrine gland and controls growth, development and functions of other endocrine glands.
  • Hormone activin has opposite effect to inhibin. It enhances FSH biosynthesis and secretion.
