Respuesta :

Answer:

He would be unable to produce viable sperms.

Explanation:

FSH and LH are the hormones released by the pituitary gland when puberty starts in girls and boys. It helps in the development of reproductive organs and viable gametes in males and females.  

In males, FSH stimulates the growth of testicles and it also stimulates Sertoli cells which helps in the formation of mature spermatozoa. Therefore FSH stimulation is needed for the production of viable sperms.  

So if a boy who sustains an injury to his anterior pituitary and unable to release FSH then he would unable to produce viable sperms because to produce viable sperms FSH should be present to stimulate Sertoli cells.
