Luteinizing hormone stimulates testosterone secretion by the leydig cells of the testes.

Biology
1 answer:
Simora [160]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It is produced by the Leydig cells of the testis. The testosterone produced by both males and females. The amount is more male than females. In females, testosterone is in the form of androgen hormone.  

The anterior pituitary secretes 2 hormones i.e. LH and FSH. The luteinizing hormone from the pituitary gland enters into the interstitial space of the testis. In the interstitial space, Leydig cells are present, which are the target organ for LH. The LH stimulates the Leydig cells to produce testosterone. Hence Leydig cells are also called interstitial cells.

Testosterone secretes from the Leydig cells of the testis and mixes with the bloodstream. It produces in the presence of LH. Then it reaches to different cells of the body by the bloodstream. Testosterone maintains bone and muscle growth, induces the secondary sexual characters.

When testosterone level is high in the blood, it sends a signal to the brain to decrease the secretion of testosterone. This is the negative feedback mechanism of testosterone.

What will charles darwin have to say about lamarcks theory?
iragen [17]
He would say that Lamarck's theory is wrong. Lamarck's theory stated that traits that are used are passed on to the offspring. In other words, if an organism changes during its lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, then its changes will be passed on to its offspring. This is wrong because this means that organisms pass on traits based on genetic information and not based on the environment of the offspring.

Hope this helps.

Why heart disease is not an infectious disease?<br><br><br> I need help please
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The old idea that coronary heart disease is an infectious disease has gained popularity in recent years, and both viral and bacterial pathogens have been proposed to be associated with the inflammatory changes seen in atherosclerosis. Herpes group viruses, notably cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex type 1, have been associated with atherosclerosis and restenosis. Helicobacter pylori and dental infections have also been linked to atherogenesis, but the evidence seems to favor a respiratory, obligatory intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia pneumoniae. The association was originally found in seroepidemiological studies, but the actual presence of the pathogen in atherosclerotic lesions has been repeatedly demonstrated, and during past year the first successful animal experiments and encouraging preliminary intervention studies were published. The causal relationship has not yet been proven, but ongoing large intervention trials and continuing research on pathogenetic mechanisms may lead to the use of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of coronary heart disease in the future.
