Gonadotropins---Objective 15

Gonadotropins = stimulate gonads

This diagram is pretty easy to interpet.  The hypothalamus synthisizes and releases gonadotropin-releasing-hormone. This hormone stimulates secretion of LH and FSH, which in turn stimulates gonadal secretion of the sex steroids testosterone, estrogen and progesterone. I really like this diagram, I wish our lab manual had included this diagram.
