Hormonal Control of Reproduction
This report is written to evaluate on behalf of a study at a laboratory that looks into embryology and
andrology. The main objective of the report is to look at the role of hormones in the regulation and
control of the reproductive system. Throughout the report, it explores in detail both the female and
male reproductive systems, the autonomy of specific hormones, how hormones can be controlled
during conception, infertility management, hormonal control for preventing conception, and four
methods of promoting conception.
