The two gonadotropins secreted in human females are:

  • A.FSH and LH
  • B.FSH and Estrogen
  • C.LH and Progesterone
  • D.Estrogen and Progesterone

Answer: A

The two gonadotropins are FSH and LH.

Gonadotropins are hormones of the anterior pituitary that act on the gonads. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles and oestrogen secretion; luteinising hormone (LH) triggers ovulation and forms and maintains the corpus luteum.

Oestrogen and progesterone are ovarian steroid hormones produced in response to the gonadotropins, not gonadotropins themselves. So every option that includes either of them is wrong.
