Explanation / Answer

Hello! 1. Anterior Pituitary is correct. The Hypophyseal portal system links the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary. 2. LH is correct. Also known as Leydig Cells, these are the primary target for LH. When stimulated by LH, they secrete testosterne. 3. Primary Spermatocytes is correct. Primary spermatocytes undergo MEIOSIS to form haploid cells called Secondary Spermatocytes. 4. 50,000,000 – 150,000,000 is correct. 5. 23 chromosomes. This is correct, the mature sperm contains 23 chromosomes (gamete) so that when it meets the egg (also 23 chromosomes) they will make a normal human (46 chromosomes) 6. Just prior to ovulation. Yes, the "Luteal Surge" occurs just preceding ovulation. Well Done! All correct! : )
