Final answer:
Inhibin does not exert positive feedback on FSH; it provides negative feedback, limiting FSH production to fine-tune the regulation of reproductive processes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that inhibin, released by the granulosa cells, exerts positive feedback control on FSH release is false. Inhibin actually provides negative feedback to the hypothalamus in the control of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) release. When follicles grow and develop, granulosa cells increase, leading to enhanced estrogen production. However, rather than encouraging further FSH production, high levels of estrogen usually result in negative feedback, leading to reduced production of GnRH, LH, and FSH, which is essential to the survival of typically only one dominant follicle. Thus, inhibin contributes to the regulation of FSH and avoids its overproduction, which is crucial during the sperm and oocyte development processes.
