Which gland releases FSH and LH in response to GnRH?
Correct Answer:
Anterior pituitary
Explanation:
GnRH from the hypothalamus signals the anterior pituitary to secrete the gonadotropins FSH and LH. The anterior pituitary is the gland responsible for producing and releasing these hormones in response to GnRH, forming a key link in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The posterior pituitary doesn’t release FSH or LH (it releases oxytocin and vasopressin), and the adrenal cortex isn’t involved in producing these gonadotropins.
