Human Regulation andReproduction(Biology)
How hormones control gametogenesis in both male and females Gametogenesis is a process of developing cells from cell division to form reproductivecell. It starts when humans enter into stage of puberty. It helps in growth and development ofperson. The reproductive cells are produced during this. In male gamete is known as sperm andfemale gamete is known as ovum (Rizov, Andreeva and Dimova, 2017). The process and timingvaries in both male and female. In both male and female hormones control this process. Thehormones that control it are different in male and female but it follows similar pattern which isdescribed below :- Firstly, neurons produces gonadotropin relasing hormone (GnRH) every 2-3 hours. Thishormone travel through blood and affects cells in anterior pituitary. The release of GnRHis controlled by brain that depends on internal and external stimuli. The GnRH hormone produces two peptide hormone from anterior pituitary that arefollicle and stimulating hromone (FSH) and liteinizing hormone (LH). These both haveeffect on gonads. FSH acts on reproductive cells to regulate gametogenesis. On otherhand LH acts on endocrine that release steroid sex hormones. The hormone control it by reducing over production of steroid sex hormones. It maintainbalance within pituitary and peptide hormones. 1
