Identify the correct statement regarding the hormonal regulation of male reproductive processes.

Options

  1. ALuteinising hormone (LH) acts on Sertoli cells to stimulate the process of spermiogenesis.
  2. BFollicle stimulating hormone (FSH) acts on Leydig cells to trigger the process of spermiation.
  3. CAndrogens directly stimulate the Sertoli cells to release mature spermatozoa during spermiation.
  4. DFollicle stimulating hormone (FSH) acts on Sertoli cells and stimulates the secretion of some factors which he

Correct answer

D. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) acts on Sertoli cells and stimulates the secretion of some factors which he

Step-by-step solution

Spermatogenesis is regulated by gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release Luteinising hormone (LH) and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). - LH acts on the Leydig cells (interstitial cells) and stimulates the synthesis and secretion of androgens. Androgens, in turn, stimulate the process of spermatogenesis. - FSH acts on the Sertoli cells and stimulates the secretion of some factors which help in the process of spermiogenesis (the transformation of spermatids into spe
