FSH can make the follicle cells more sensitive to LH by increasing ________.
A) GnRH production
B) GnRH receptors
C) LH receptors
D) theca cells
E) estrogen receptors
FSH
Follicle-stimulating hormone, a gonadotropin involved in the development of eggs in ovaries and sperm in testes.
LH Receptors
Proteins on the surface of certain cells that bind luteinizing hormone, playing a crucial role in reproductive system regulation.
GnRH Receptors
GnRH receptors are proteins located on the surface of certain cells that bind to gonadotropin-releasing hormone, playing a key role in the regulation of reproductive processes.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) can make the follicle cells more sensitive to LH (Luteinizing Hormone) by increasing the number of LH receptors on the surface of these cells. This enhances the follicle's ability to respond to LH, which is crucial for ovulation and the subsequent development of the corpus luteum.
