Explanation:

Follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. They act on the gonads (ovaries in females and testes in males) to stimulate the release of other hormones. In females, FSH stimulates follicle development and estrogen production, while LH triggers ovulation and progesterone production. In males, FSH is involved in sperm production and LH stimulates testosterone production. Hormones that target and stimulate the release of hormones from other endocrine glands (in this case, the gonads) are called tropic hormones.
