Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GnRH from the hypothalamus causes FSH and LH release from the anterior pituitary, which in turn stimulate the production of testosterone by the testes. Inhibin, produced by the testes, exerts negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary to regulate testosterone levels. The pineal gland does not play a significant role in testosterone control. Option B is incorrect as FSH stimulates spermatogenesis, not testosterone production.
