Answer to Question 1

Explanation:
1. The hypothalamus secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone to the pituitary gland in response to signals from the central nervous system.
2. The anterior pituitary secretes FSH and LH, which are primarily responsible for maturation of the ovarian follicle.
3. The posterior pituitary gland secretes oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone.
4. The ovaries secrete the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, and the testes secrete testosterone.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation:
1. Estrogen is an ovarian hormone.
2. Progesterone is an ovarian hormone.
3. Luteinizing hormone is excreted by the anterior pituitary.
