Dear Learner,

Good day!
In this week, you will learn to explain the role of hormones involved in
the female and male reproductive system. S10LT-IIIb-34

Specifically, you will learn the following to:

1. enumerate the reproductive hormones and their corresponding
function/s;
2. identify the reproductive hormone/s that cause/s the given
sexual characteristics; and
3. Give the important role of hormones in the development of the
reproductive system.

In this lesson, taking good care of one’s body is being integrated.

Reproductive Hormones and Their Functions

Reproductive hormones 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.

Below is the list of reproductive hormones and their corresponding

functions.

1. Reproductive Hormone: Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH)

Secreted by: Hypothalamus
Function: Stimulates the pituitary gland to release Follicle
Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone
(LH).
2. Reproductive Hormone: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Secreted by: Pituitary Gland
Function: • Follicle stimulators of the ovaries and testes to begin
the production of egg cells and sperm cells.
• Stimulates the synthesis of sex steroid hormones
(estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone).

3. Reproductive Hormone: Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Secreted by: Pituitary Gland
Function: Aids the FSH to hasten the maturity of egg cells and
sperm cells by producing more estrogen and testosterone.
4. Reproductive Hormone: Testosterone (Sex Steroid Hormone)
Secreted by: Testes/ Adrenal Gland
Function: • Increases sperm cell production and maturity.
• Facilitates development of male primary and secondary
sex characteristics such as deepening of voice as vocal
chords thicken, lengthen, and mature; and testicle
enlargement due to the increased production and
maturity of sperm cells.
Secreted by: Ovaries
Function: Maintains healthy reproductive tissues.

5. Reproductive Hormone: Estrogen (Sex Steroid Hormones)
Secreted by: Ovaries
Function: • Stimulates the maturity of egg cells
• Responsible for the development of primary female
secondary sex characteristics such as breast development
where fats are collected in the breast’s connective tissues
causing it to enlarge.
• Thickens the uterine lining during ovulation.
Secreted by: Adrenal Gland
Function: Aids in the maturity of sperm cells
6. Reproductive Hormone: Progesterone (Sex Steroid Hormone)
Secreted by: Ovaries
Function: Aids estrogen in the thickening of the uterine lining.

Secreted by: Testes

Function: Stimulates the production of testosterone.

Activity 4 Instructions: Complete the cause-and-effect graphic

organizer by identifying the reproductive hormone/s that
cause/s the given sexual characteristics observed in the
body during puberty. Explain the effect of these hormones.

 Activity 5 Instructions: Answer the question briefly. 10 points

What is your realization upon learning that hormones play an

important role in the development of the reproductive system? How
will you apply this to prevent teenage pregnancy?
