Background and context

This question belongs to the Hormonal Control of Human Reproduction.

The human male and female reproductive cycles are controlled by the interaction of hormones from the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary with hormones from reproductive tissues and organs. In both sexes, the hypothalamus monitors and causes the release of hormones from the pituitary gland. When the reproductive hormone is required, the hypothalamus sends a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to the anterior pituitary. This causes the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary into the blood.
