Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Spermatogenesis starts at the age of puberty due to significant increase in the secretion of gonadotrophin releasing hormone 2. The increased levels of GnRH then acts at the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of two gonadotrophins- leuteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone 3. LH acts at the Leydig cells and stimulates synthesis
Options
- A1,2,3 are correct
- BOnly 4 is correct
- Conly 2 and 4 are correct
- DOnly 1 and 3 are incorrect
Correct answer
A. 1,2,3 are correct
Step-by-step solution
Spermatogenesis starts at the age of puberty due to significant increase in the secretion of gonadotrophin releasing hormone. The increased levels of GnRH then acts at the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates secretion of two gonadotrophins- leuteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. LH acts at the Leydig cells and stimulates synthesis and secretion of androgens. FSH acts on the Sertoli cells and stimulates secretion of some factors which help in the process of spermiogenesis
