the testes, and in females, the ovaries. These two hormones secreted from cells in the anterior pituitary are essential for reproduction. In women, LH helps regulate the menstrual cycle and egg production (ovulation); in men, LH stimulates the production...
Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) control the production of sex hormones and the production of eggs in women (ovulation) and sperm in men. Oxytocin is also known as the birth hormone as it stimulates the contraction of the uterus and mammary ducts to produce milk...
This hormone’s primary functions are increasing contractility of the uterus, especially during labor to help delivering baby, contraction of myoepithelial cells surrounding alveoli of the breasts to evacuation their milk to the nipple, and contraction of fallopian tubes to help the sperm reach the ...
and decreased bone density. Rats and mice with ER-alpha deficiency have been studied and been shown to be infertile. The testes of these rodents lack ER-alpha and have dilated seminiferous tubules containing no sperm. ER-alpha is not necessary for sperm function, but it is necessary for sper...

In addition to estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are vital to the female body.Gonads Sexual reproduction is the process in which mammals such as humans produce offspring(s). Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of haploid cells called gametes, where the male gamete is known as sperm and...
the masses of erectile tissue, lie close together in the dorsal part of the penis, while a single body, thecorpus spongiosum, which contains the urethra, lies in a midline groove on the undersurface of thecorporacavernosa. The dorsal surface of the penis is that which faces upward and ba...
