Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates spermatogonia to undergo a unique type of cell division called meiosis, which ultimately leads to the formation of haploid sperm cells. Luteinizing hormone and testosterone also play important roles in the production of sperm, but they do not directly stimulate spermatogonia to undergo meiosis. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone is responsible for regulating the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the pituitary gland.
