    The document discusses male reproduction, including: 1. How GnRH from the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete LH and FSH, which then stimulate testosterone production and spermatogenesis. 2. The major reproductive hormones in males, their sources, targets, and responses, including testosterone production from LH, and spermatogenesis supported by FSH and inhibin. 3. How testosterone has stimulatory and negative feedback effects throughout the hormone system.

    MALE REPRODUCTION

    By Khairun Nisa

    Physiology of Male Reproduction


    Regulation of Reproductive Hormone secretion in Males: 1. Gn-RH from hypothalamus stimulates the secretion of LH and FSH from anterior pituitary 2. LH stimulates the interstitial cells of the testes to secrete testosterone, and FSH binds to the sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubules and stimulates spermatogenesis 3. Testosterone has a stimulatory effect on the sex organs and secondary sex characteristics, as well as on the sertoli cells 4. Testosterone has a negative feed back effect on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to reduce LH and FSH secretion 5. Inhibin has a negative feedback effects on FSH secretion.
