Question

which of the following produces the gonadotropic follicle - stimulating hormone (fsh) & luteinizing hormone (lh) hormones? a hypothalamus b testis c anterior pituitary gland d all apply.

Explanation:

• Hypothalamus: Produces gonadotropin - releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the anterior pituitary, not FSH and LH directly.
• Testis: Produces testosterone (in males) and inhibin. It does not produce FSH and LH.
• Anterior pituitary gland: Secretes FSH and LH. FSH is involved in follicle development (in females) and spermatogenesis (in males). LH triggers ovulation (in females) and testosterone production (in males).

Answer:

C. Anterior pituitary gland
