This is quite a complicated question. Hormones are chemicals produced in one part of the body that causes changes elsewhere in the body. Around puberty, the pituitary gland, along with the hypothalamus produces hormones to turn on the gonads (ovaries or testes). Hormones target hormone receptors which are either on the cell walls or on the nucleus, and the receptors tell the cells to alter their function. Then the gonads start producing hormones which are testosterone in male and estrogen and progesterone in females. Those hormones target the receptors designed for them, and those cells alter in function or even multiply in number. For instance, there are stem cells for breast growth, and in females, the estrogen tells those cells to unpack part of their DNA to use, and also to divide and thus proliferate.
Also, it is estrogen that causes the bone growth to finish, and yes, in males too. Males only produce estrogen as excessive testosterone is broken down. So the bone caps close later than in females.
Sex hormones primarily affect the reproductive organs. These hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. In addition, the gonadotropins also primarily affect the endocrine tissue of the reproductive organs.

What is the hormone produced by the male reproductive system and where is is produced?
Male reproductive system produces Testosterone. This hormone is produced by the interstitial cells of the testes.
Which anterior pituitary hormone is not involved with the reproductive system?
Adrenocorticoriticotrophic hormone
What is the hormone produced by the male reproductive system?
testosterone
Which part of the male reproductive system produces the hormone called testosterone?
The testes are responsible for producing the hormone testosterone in males.
What part of the reproductive system produces hormone?
pituitary gland
What are three things that could mess up the human reproductive system?
Infections in the human reproductive system could cause scarring. Cancer can affect the organs of the reproductive system. Hormonal disorders can affect the function of the reproductive system.
Which system are the testes part of?
The testes are part of the male reproductive system, in which their function is sperm production. The testes are also part of the endocrine system, in which they make the hormone testosterone.
Which organ is common to the reproductive system and urinary system in men?
The organ that is common to the reproductive system and urinary system in men are urethra. The primary male sex hormone is testosterone.
How does alcohol affect the male reproductive system testes?
Alcohol decreases testosterone levels by affecting hormone regulation between the brain and gonads.
How does the reproductive system affect your health?
Not that much
What systems interact with the female reproductive system?
The female reproductive system interacts with the endocrine system through hormone regulation, the nervous system for sexual arousal and response, and the circulatory system to supply nutrients and oxygen to reproductive organs. Additionally, the immune system plays a role in protecting the reproductive system from infections.
What hormone triggers the maturation of the eggs?
It is important to know how the reproductive system works. The Luteinizing hormone aids in the maturation of a females eggs.
