What is the Role of Hormones in Gamete Production?
Hormones play a pivotal role in the regulation of gamete production. The hypothalamus releases GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone), which stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). FSH promotes the growth of ovarian follicles, while LH triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum.
