The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding GnRH**: GnRH stands for Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone. It is a crucial hormone in the reproductive system. 2. **Source of GnRH**: GnRH is released from the hypothalamus, which is a part of the brain that plays a key role in hormone regulation. 3. **Target of GnRH**: The primary target of GnRH is the pituitary gland. When GnRH is released, it stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release gonadotropins. 4. **Role of Gonadotropins**: The gonadotropins released from the pituitary gland include Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH). These hormones are essential for the functioning of the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females). 5. **Effects of LH and FSH**: - **LH (Luteinizing Hormone)**: Stimulates the synthesis of androgens (male hormones) in males and triggers ovulation and the production of estrogen and progesterone in females. - **FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)**: Promotes the growth and development of ovarian follicles in females and stimulates spermatogenesis in males. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question "GnRH stimulates the..." is that it stimulates the pituitary gland for the synthesis and release of gonadotropins. **Final Answer**: GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland for the synthesis and release of gonadotropins. ---
