  1. The male s*x hormone, testosterone level, is controlled by negative feedback control.

    Production of testosterone by the interstitial cells in the testes is stimulated by the hormone ICSH (Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone) (also called LH -Luteinising Hormone) produced by the pituitary gland.

    Testosterone along with FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) promotes sperm production by the seminiferous tubules in the testes.

    When testosterone levels are too high, this has an inhibitory effect on the pituitary stopping the production of ICSH.

    (Otherwise sperm would be produced continuously!!!)

    When the testosterone levels in he bloodstream falls this stops the inhibitory effect on the pituitary and ICSH is produced again to bring the tesosterone level bac k to the set point/norm.

    Hope this helps!


  2. A man puts his p***s in a woman's v****a and bob's your uncle.

    You'll have to be specific - what grade level and what specific topics?
