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). These hormones then travel to the gonads (ovaries in females, testes in males) and stimulate the production and release of sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone).
