FSH hormone is produced in:

FSH hormone is produced in: Correct Answer Anterior body of pituitary

Concept:

  • The pituitary gland is located in a bony cavity called Sella tursica and is attached to the hypothalamus by a stalk
  • It is divided anatomically into an adenohypophysis and a neurohypophysis. Adenohypophysis consists of two portions, pars distalis, and pars intermedia.
  • The pars distalis region of the pituitary, commonly called anterior pituitary, produces several hormones like growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
  • Pars intermedia secretes only one hormone called melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)

Explanation:

  • The Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. 
  • The FSH stimulates the gonadial activity hence it is called a gonadotropin.
  • In males, the FSH regulates the spermatogenesis & normal functioning of seminiferous tubules.
  • In females, it stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles.

Additional Information

  • The hypothalamus is the basal part of the diencephalon's, forebrain and it regulates a wide spectrum of body functions. It contains several groups of neurosecretory cells called nuclei which produce hormones. These hormones regulate the synthesis and secretion of pituitary hormones.  
  • There are two types of hypothalamic hormones the releasing hormones (which stimulate secretion of pituitary hormones) and the inhibiting hormones (which inhibit secretions of pituitary hormones)
  • Neurohypophysis (pars nervosa) also known as posterior pituitary, stores, and releases two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin, which are actually synthesized by the hypothalamus and are transported axonally to the neurohypophysis.
  • Middle lobe of the pituitary gland (pars intermedia): It is a part of the adenohypophysis. It secretes only one hormone called melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)
