Adaptation
Hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is active in the human fetus, but after the first year of life it becomes quiescent/low until?
9 years, increased impulses in gonadotropin hormones = decreased gonadotropin levels
10 years, increased impulses in gonadotropin hormones = increased gonadotropin levels
20 years, increased impulses in gonadotropin hormones = increased gonadotropin levels
At the beginning of what age does the hypothalamus increases its production of gonadotropin releasing hormones?
8, and it triggers the anterior pituitary to release luteinizing and follicle- stimulating hormones
9, and it triggers the anterior pituitary to release luteinizing and follicle- stimulating hormones
10, and it triggers the anterior pituitary to release luteinizing and follicle- stimulating hormones
Increase in the reproduction of testosterone and estrogen stimulates the development of ________.
