Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). FSH and LH then stimulate the gonads (ovaries or testes) to produce hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These hormones have a negative feedback effect on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, reducing the release of GnRH, FSH, and LH. This helps maintain a balance of hormones in the body.
