GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary hormones involved in the functioning of the male reproductive system are follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone. FSH and LH are produced by the pituitary gland. It’s located at the base of your brain and it’s responsible for many functions in your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -In men, FSH helps control the production of sperm and the amount of FSH in men normally remains stable after puberty.

Detailed explanation-3: -In men, LH stimulates testosterone production from the interstitial cells of the testes (Leydig cells). FSH stimulates testicular growth and enhances the production of an androgen-binding protein by the Sertoli cells, which are a component of the testicular tubule necessary for sustaining the maturing sperm cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Testosterone is a sex hormone that plays important roles in the body. In men, it’s thought to regulate sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, and the production of red blood cells and sperm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Specifically, FSH stimulates follicles on the ovary to grow and prepare the eggs for ovulation. As the follicles increase in size, they begin to release estrogen and a low level of progesterone into your blood. Ovulation is a phase in the menstrual cycle. It occurs on about day 14 of a 28-day menstrual cycle.
