Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The brain-testicular axis involves the release of the hormones follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland, which then stimulates the testes to produce testosterone and sperm. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choices A and D are incorrect, as they do not accurately describe the brain-testicular axis. Choice B refers to a different regulatory system (the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis) and is therefore incorrect.
