Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) stimulates spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules by promoting the sustentacular cells (also known as Sertoli cells) to increase their production of androgen-binding protein (ABP) and other growth factors that support sperm cell development. LH (luteinizing hormone) and testosterone also play important roles in spermatogenesis, but in different ways. Inhibin inhibits the secretion of FSH from the pituitary gland, but does not directly stimulate spermatogenesis.
