Although Weston is male and, therefore, doesn't have a menstrual cycle, he still needs the hormones LH and FSH. Explain how his body uses these hormones.
What will be an ideal response?
While Weston is in puberty, FSH and LH will stimulate the testes begin to produce additional testosterone. In males, this burst of additional androgens stimulates muscular development, maturity of the external genitalia, facial hair, and enlargement of the larynx, which leads to a deeper voice. In conjunction with LH and FSH, testosterone begins to regulate the production of sperm. Testosterone also affects a male's hairline and can result in baldness later in adulthood.
