Which Structure Secretes the Gonadotropins

Question

Which structure secretes the gonadotropins?
A) Adrenal cortex
B) Testes
C) Anterior pituitary gland
D) Ovum

Accepted Answer

The gonadotropins, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. They play a crucial role in regulating the development and function of male and female gonads, such as the testes and ovaries. The adrenal cortex secretes hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone, while the ovum (or egg cell) does not secrete hormones.
