• Produces and secretes Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
• Regulates gonadal function (ovaries and testes).
• Part of the anterior pituitary gland.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Pituitary Gland Anterior (located in)
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) (produces)
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) (produces)
• Ovary (regulates)
• Testis (regulates)
• Reproductive System (key for)
