Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Luteinizing hormone (LH) acts on the Leydig cells in the testes, promoting the production and release of testosterone.

Answer: B
 Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) also plays a role in sperm production, but it primarily acts on Sertoli cells in the testes rather than Leydig cells.

Answer: D and E
 Estrogen and progesterone are female sex hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle and promote the development of secondary sexual characteristics. They do not directly regulate testosterone secretion in males.

Answer: A
 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is secreted by the hypothalamus and stimulates the release of LH and FSH from the pituitary gland. It does not directly act on Leydig cells or regulate testosterone secretion.
