How do the sex glands work?
What will be an ideal response?
The pituitary gland sends a signal via gonadotropins-hormones that stimulate the testes or ovaries-to the appropriate gland to manufacture hormones. These hormones give rise to such changes as the production of sperm in males and menstruation and the release of eggs from the ovaries in females. The pituitary gland, through interaction with the hypothalamus, detects when the optimal level of hormones is reached and responds and maintains it with additional gonadotropin secretion.
