Sperms
  1. Hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to secrete gonadotropins like luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
  2. LH stimulates the Leydig cells of testes to secrete androgens (like testosterone), which control spermatogenesis.
  3. FSH acts on Sertoli cells of testes, which in response secrete certain factors necessary for spermiogenesis; the sperm heads become embedded in the sertoli cells.
