Detailed explanation-1: -The development and maintenance of spermatogenesis is dependent on the pituitary gonadotropins; FSH, and LH. Both hormones are secreted and regulated as a part of the HPG axis in response to the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
Detailed explanation-2: -Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays important roles in spermatogenesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Luteinizing hormone(LH) acts on specialised cells within the testes and stimulates release of the male sex hormone, testosterone. Follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)acts on a separate population of cells within the testes to stimulate the production of sperm.
Detailed explanation-4: -In men, LH primarily stimulates testosterone production, while FSH stimulates the production of sperm.
