FSH in males
directly stimulates spermatogenesis - sperm look like "FiSH." In females, FSH obviously
stimulates ovarian follicles (which secrete estrogens, which stimulate endometrial
proliferation).
LH in males
stimulates androgen secretion so males become "Like Hairy Apes" (LH ? A). Androgens also
stimulate spermatogenesis, so LH also indirectly stimulates spermatogenesis. In females,
LH stimulates the corpus luteum (which secretes estrogens and progesterone, which
stimulate the endometrium).
