HORMONES

GnRH
FSH
LH
The Male Reproductive
Hormones
Gonadotropin-Releasing
Hormone (GnRH)
- It is made in the
hypothalamus and
travels to the pituitary
where it stimulates FSH
and LH secretion.
The Female Reproductive
Hormones
Gonadotropin-Releasing
Hormone (GnRH)
- It causes the release of two
important hormones, the
Follicle-stimulating hormone
and
Luteinizing hormone from the
pituitary gland.
The Male Reproductive
Hormones
Follicle-stimulating
Hormone (FSH)
-It stimulates
spermatogenesis and
testicular growth.
*Spermatogenesis – production and
development of the sperm cells
The Female Reproductive
Hormones
Follicle-stimulating hormone
(FSH)
- It stimulates
development of the
maturing ovarian follicle
and controls ovum
production in the female.
The Male Reproductive
Hormones
Luteinizing Hormone
(LH)
-It stimulates the
production of
testosterone.
The Male Reproductive
Hormones
Testosterone
- It is responsible for
the secondary sexual
characteristics that
develop in the male
during adolescence
period.
The Female Reproductive
Hormones
Estrogen
- It promotes the maturation
and release of an ovum in
every menstrual cycle.
- It is responsible for the
development of female
secondary sexual
characteristics.
The Female Reproductive
Hormones
Progesterone
- Its function is to prepare the
endometrium (lining of the
uterus) for the reception and
development of the fertilized
ovum.
- It also suppresses the
production of estrogen after
ovulation has occurred.
The Female Reproductive
Hormones

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

- It promotes the
development of the corpus
luteum.
 The Female Reproductive
Hormones
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
It triggers ovulation (the
release of a mature ovum
from the ovary

It stimulates the ovaries to

produce estrogen and
progesterone.
DID YOU
Menopause occurs when the ovaries
lose their sensitivity to FSH and LH and

KNOW?
the female reproductive cycles slow to
a stop.
 Other
HORMONES
PROLACTIN
Prolactin (PRL):
stimulates the
development and growth
of the mammary glands
and milk production
during pregnancy.

The sucking motion of the

baby stimulates prolactin
secretion.
OXYTOCIN
stimulates the uterus to
contract during labor, delivery,
and parturition.

A synthetic version of this

hormone, used to induce labor,
is called Pitocin.

It also stimulates the

mammary glands to release
milk.
