Identify the correct pair of hormone and its target cells in the context of spermatogenesis.(a) Gonadotrophin: Leydig cells(b) Luteinising Hormone: Sertoli cells(c) Testosterone: Pituitary gland(d) Follicle Stimulating Hormone: Sertoli cellsI had been asked this question in semester exam.I want to ask this question from Human Reproduction in section Human Reproduction of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Correct answer is (d) Follicle STIMULATING Hormone: Sertoli CELLS

Best explanation: Gonadotrophic Hormone is released by Hypothalamus and ACTS on Anterior Pituitary. Anterior pituitary RELEASES Luteinising Hormone which acts on Leydig cells. Leydig cells release Androgens which act on a variety of TARGETS to initiate Spermatogenesis. Anterior Pituitary also releases Follicle Stimulating hormone which acts on Sertoli cells to release various factors that promotes spermatogenesis.
