Answer #1

FSH or Follicle Stimulating Hormone has two subunits: alpha and beta. It is structurally similar to LH (Luteinizing Hormone), hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone).

It functions in the development and maturation of the reproductive tissues. In males, it acts on the Sertoli cells and triggers the maturation of primordial spermatocytes. In females, it triggers follicular growth.

The hormone itself is released or secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. The secretion is under the control of the master hormone GnRH (Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone). GnRH is released by the hypothalamus. It acts on the pituitary through the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Hence the correct option is c (Pituitary gland), specifically Anterior Pituitary gland.
