Chapter 25, Problem 5RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The false statement about the luteinizing hormone and the follicle-stimulating hormone.
Introduction:
Hormones are the chemical secretions of the endocrine glands. They are directly secreted into the bloodstream from where they move to their target sites. Pituitary gland is the master gland of the endocrine system as it regulates the secretion of all other glands. The pituitary gland is further regulated by the hypothalamus, which is a part of the forebrain.
