Title: Hormonal Growth of Male Reproductive Function
Introduction
1. What organs are involved in hormonal control of male reproductive functions?
Testis, hypothalamus, an anterior pituitary.
Hormonal Control of Male Reproductive Functions
2. a. Describe gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) production.
At puberty the hypothalamus secretes GnRH which stimulates anterior.
b. Describe GnRH affects on the male anterior pituitary.
GnRH goes to a GPCR and increases the levels of Ca2+ which causes stimulation of synthesis and secretion of FSH and LH.
3. What affect does luteinizing hormone (LH) have on the testes?
It stimulates Leydig cells to secrete the hormone testosterone.
4. a. What affect does testosterone and FSH have on the testes?
Sterol cells produce ABP which binds and maintains increased levels of testosterone.
b. What affect is the affect of androgen-binding protein?
ABP's production is regulated under influence of FSH on Sertoli cell, enhanced by insulin, retinol, and testosterone.

Write an essay on intermolecular bonding. Explain how each type of bond arises and the evidence for the existence of each. Comment on their strengths in relation to the types of atoms involved; the covalent bond and relative to each other. Use the concepts of different types and strengths of intermolecular bonds to explain the following: There exi...
There is currently much debate on the desirability of landfilling particular wastes, the practicability of alternatives such as waste minimisation or pre- treatment, the extent of waste pre-treatment required, and of the most appropriate landfilling strategies for the final residues. This debate is likely to stimulate significant developments in la...
Involvement of K+ in Leaf Movements During Suntracking Introduction Many plants orient their leaves in response to directional light signals. Heliotropic movements, or movements that are affected by the sun, are common among plants belonging to the families Malvaceae, Fabaceae, Nyctaginaceae, and Oxalidaceae. The leaves of many plants, including C...
As can be seen above, caffeine consists of two carbon/nitrogen rings with oxygen and methyl groups as substituents. The fused rings are similar to those in adenine only the substituents differ. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, and many soft drinks. There is also some amount of caffeine in chocolate, as well as a closely related stimulant, theobr...
Most of the world's electricity is generated by either thermal or hydroelectric power plants. Thermal power plants use fuel to boil water which makes steam. The steam turns turbines that generate electricity. Hydroelectric power plants use the great force of rushing water from a dam or a waterfall to turn the turbines. The majority of thermal po...
