The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify which part of the body releases the hormone that stimulates the cells in the testis to secrete testosterone. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Cells in the Testis**: - The cells in the testis responsible for the secretion of testosterone are called Leydig cells (or interstitial cells). 2. **Understand the Role of Hormones**: - Leydig cells are stimulated to produce testosterone by a hormone known as Luteinizing Hormone (LH). 3. **Determine the Source of Luteinizing Hormone (LH)**: - Luteinizing Hormone is produced and released by the anterior pituitary gland, which is controlled by signals from the hypothalamus. 4. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - The question asks where the hormone that stimulates the Leydig cells is released from. Since LH is released by the anterior pituitary gland, the correct answer is the anterior pituitary. ### Final Answer: The hormone stimulating the Leydig cells in the testis to secrete testosterone is released into the blood by the **anterior pituitary**. ---
