The HPG Axis and Hormonal Control of Male Reproduction

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone drives pituitary FSH and LH release, per Bio 2955, which in males stimulate sperm production and testosterone secretion.

Show

LH stimulates testosterone-producing cells directly; FSH acts on separate cells supporting sperm development.

Watch for

FSH and LH are the same two hormones in both sexes; only their target cells and downstream effects differ.
