Question

The process of spermatogenesis is induced by
(a) TSH
(b) FSH
(c ) MSH
(d) ACTH

Answer 1

Hint:
The hypothalamus has ultimate control of the testes' sexual function because it secretes a hormone called gonadotropin-releasing hormone, or GnRH, that stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete the gonadotropic hormones. FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) are the two gonadotropic hormones. These hormones are present in females and males both

Complete step by step answer:
In males, FSH promotes the production of sperm in the seminiferous tubules, which also release the hormone inhibin. LH in males has sometimes been given the name interstitial cell-stimulating hormone (ICSH) because it controls the production of testosterone by the interstitial cells, which are found in the spaces between the seminiferous tubules. TSH is a thyroid-stimulating hormone. TSH mediates the secretion from the thyroid glands of thyroid hormone and their synthesis.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone or corticotrophin is a polypeptide hormone synthesized in the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland in response to the corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) released by the hypothalamus. It consists of 39 amino acids. ACTH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of steroid hormones called corticosteroids from the adrenocortical cells of the adrenal cortex. MSH is a melanocyte-stimulating hormone. These are called melanotropin. These act on melanocytes (melanin-containing cells) and increases the pigmentation of the skin in amphibians. Its exact role in humans is unknown.

Option ‘B’ is correct

Note:
Testosterone, the main sex hormone in males, is essential for the normal development and functioning of the organs. All these hormones are involved in a negative feedback relationship that maintains the fairly constant production of sperm and testosterone.
