ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -They are responsible for pregnancy, puberty, menstruation, menopause, sex drive, sperm production and more. These hormones are produced in the ovaries (in females) and testes (in males). The pituitary gland produces, stores and stimulates other reproductive hormones such as: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HcG)

Detailed explanation-2: -Controls production of sex hormones (estrogen in women and testosterone in men) and the production of eggs in women and sperm in men.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main reproductive hormones are oestrogen and testosterone. Oestrogen causes eggs to mature in ovaries once a girl hits puberty. These are then released at regular intervals during the menstrual cycle. Testosterone stimulates sperm production in males.

Detailed explanation-4: -Male hormones The sex hormones of the male follow a much simpler pattern than do those of the female, although the same principle of interaction exists between the pituitary gland and the gonads.

Detailed explanation-5: -These hormones play vital roles in multiple essential life functions from fighting infections, to metabolising the food we eat, in our growth and development and in reproduction. The endocrine glands are the same in both male and females except for the reproductive glands, the testes in males and ovaries in females.
