Muddiest Point!
I was reading through the objectives sheet and it says something about secondary sex characteristics, if you could please tell me what that is that would be great! Also, If you could please tell me the what exactly each hormone (LH, FSH, estrogen, progesterone) does, because I'm getting really confused as to what affects what and what secretes what. I hope this isn't too much, and you can do either question. Thanks!

Hey! So, the secondary sex characteristics are basically the changes both males and females get during puberty. For males, FSH stimulates testes to produce testosterone, which causes the larynx to enlarge, broad shoulders, facial hair, pubic hair, and muscle growth. For females, FSH stimulates ovaries to produce estrogen, which causes breast development, widening of hips, and menstruation. Hope this helps:)
