Question

Accessory sexual character in female is produced by

Answer 1

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

• FSH stimulates the growth of primary follicles into graffian follicles in the ovary.

• LH induces the rupture of graffian follicle and thereby the release of ovum called ovulation.

• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) are the hormones secreted by anterior pituitary glands.

• In males, LH acts on Leydig cells and causes them to release androgens, which stimulate the process of spermatogenesis while the FSH acts on the Sertoli cells, which help in spermiogenesis.

• In females, FSH initiates the growth of follicles in the ovary.

• In females, the rapid secretion of LH leading to its maximum level during the mid-cycle is called LH surge.

• This LH surge triggers ovulation.

• It induces rupture of Graffian follicle and thereby the release of ovum.
