This document discusses reproductive hormones in humans and plants. It explains that in humans, the pituitary gland releases FSH and LH, which stimulate egg maturation and ovulation. Estrogen thickens the uterine lining and progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy. The document also discusses plant hormones like auxin, and how tropisms allow plants to grow towards light and water through processes like phototropism and geotropism. Homeostasis in humans maintains temperature, glucose, water, and ion levels through mechanisms controlled by the brain, pancreas, and blood vessel dilation and constriction.
