Oogenesis and spermatogenesis are a major physiological action of (hormone released from pituitary gland)

A.
Androgen
B.
Prolactin
C.
Follicle stimulating hormone
Answer
D.
Oxytocin

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Oogenesis and spermatogenesis are major physiological actions of (hormone released from pituitary gland) Follicle stimulating hormone.
FSH is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone. It is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body.
FSH stimulates the growth and recruitment of immature ovarian follicles in the ovary.
FSH enhances the production of androgen-binding protein by the Sertoli cells of the testes by binding to FSH receptors on their basolateral membranes and is critical for the initiation of spermatogenesis.
