Hormones directly linked to sex differences and reproduction.

Reproductive organs (testes in males, ovaries in females) that produce steroid hormones.

Brain structures that regulate sex hormone production.

Hormone released by the hypothalamus, which stimulates the pituitary gland.

Hormones released by the pituitary in response to GnRH; stimulate other glands.

Male sex hormones, produced in greater quantity in males.

Female sex hormones, produced in greater quantity in females.

Hormones can influence behavior in various ways, even in everyday activities.

High testosterone levels in males are linked to various types of violence, including sexual and rule-breaking behaviors.

Females also produce testosterone. Studies explore the link between testosterone levels and female behavior.

The process where hormones influence the release of other hormones and impact body functions.

The hypothalamus releases hormones (including gonadotropin-releasing hormone) to stimulate the ovaries and testes, resulting in the release of gonadal hormones.

The pituitary gland is stimulated by hormones from the hypothalamus and releases its own tropic hormones and gonadotropins.

Development of sex characteristics before birth, largely similar for both sexes in early stages, requiring hormones for differentiation.

Gonadal hormones crucial for sex development; androgens in higher amounts in males, estrogens in females; crucial for both sexes' development.

Developmental structure in male fetuses that develops into internal reproductive ducts influenced by androgens.

Developmental structure in developing fetuses influenced by estrogens and is vital for developing female internal reproductive ducts.

Period of sexual maturation driven by increasing gonadal hormone production.

Hormones produced by the pituitary gland that contribute to physical growth, including bone and muscle development during adolescence.

Pituitary hormones influencing androgen and estrogen production during puberty (adolescence).

Testosterone is critical for male reproductive development and function/menarche (first menstruation) is a key aspect of female sexual development and function.
