33
FSH stimulates growth of ________ in females

34
FSH stimulates _________ in males

38
Stimulates testosterone production in males
LH
39

swelling that occurs due to a lack of iodine in the diet
hypothyroidism goiter
50
It needs priming by estrogen, thyroid hormones, and insulin to become functional
