hormones

• hormone - are your bodies chemical messengers that travels in your bloodstream to tissues or organs. affects your growth and development, fertility, blood sugar to blood pressure and metabolism.
• reproductive hormone - are chemical substances that initiate sexual development essential for human reproduction. The start of sexual maturity happens during puberty stage, and it is determined by the amount of reproductive hormones released in the brain. The level of these reproductive hormones increases relatively as we reach puberty.
• follicle stimulating hormone - secreted by pituitary gland, stimulators of the ovaries and testes to begin the production of egg cells and sperm cells, stimulates sex steriod hormones
• Reproductive hormones are sex hormones that trigger sexual maturity which is important for human reproduction.
• puberty is a life stage in which a person reaches sexual maturity.
• GnRH or Gonadotropin releasing hormone is secreted by the hypothalamus of the brain which stimulates the pituitary to release FSH and LH.
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone or FSH stimulates the ovaries and testes to begin the production of egg cells and sperm cells.
• Luteinizing Hormone or LH is released by the pituitary gland in the brain to aid the FSH in the maturity of gametes (egg cells and sperm cells).
• Estrogen is a primary sex steroid hormone in female that stimulates the maturity of the egg cell s and develops sexual characteristics of female. While males produce little amount of estrogen needed for sperm cell maturity.
• Progesterone also a sex steroid hormone aids estrogen for egg cell maturity and in the thickening of endometrium or lining of the uterus. It also promotes the production of testosterone in men.
• Testosterone is the primary sex steroid hormone of men responsible for secondary sex characteristics and maturity of the sperm cells. In female, little amount of testosterone is needed to ensure healthy reproductive tissues.
• the hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin releasing hormones which stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release FSH and LH
• follicle stimulating hormone is responsible fo the development and maturation of ovarian follicles in females
• during the menstrual cycle, a surge of luteinizing hormone triggers ovulation the release of a mature egg from the ovary
• follicle stimulating hormones stimulates the ovaries and testes to begin the production of egg cells and sperm cells
• sex steroid hormone that aids the estrogen for egg cell maturity
• egg cell the female gamete or sex cell
