Question

what are the functions of LH and FSH in human females..and what do they secrete?

Answer 1

FSH stands for Follicle Stimulating Hormone and LH stands for Luteinizing Hormone. Both these are referred to as Gonadotropin hormones for the reason that they motivate the gonads. Both FSH and LH excite the ovaries to create steroids.FSH journeys in the blood to influence the ovaries. It also motivates the growth of numerous follicles, only one of which will conclude growth. The growing follicles discharge the hormone estrogen.

Answer 2

Answer:

LH has different functions in males and females.

In males:

• LH stimulates testes to synthesise and secrete androgens (testosterone).
• It activates Leydig cells of the testes to secrete testosterone.

In females:

• LH stimulates corpus luteum of the ovary to secrete progesterone.
• It stimulates the ovulation from fully matured Graafian follicles and also maintains the corpus luteum formed from the remnants of Graafian follicles after ovulation.
