Various parts of the human body have specific receptors for some type of tactile stimulus, such as the hands and feet. The tactile receptors present in the hands are called Meissner's corpuscles, while those present in the feet are known as Ruffini's corpuscles. What are the main functions of these corpuscles?

From the stimuli sent by the sensory neurons, the central nervous system has as its main function to send information to the brain, which will process this information so that it can be properly responded to by the human body. What is the other main function of this system?

During puberty, significant changes occur in the human body due to the activation of the reproductive system. This process is controlled by hormones, which act on the sexual organs and also on other body systems. Explain how the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, both located in the brain, interact to control puberty. In addition, discuss the role of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the development and maintenance of reproductive structures, and how these hormones can be targets for regulation in infertility treatments. Finally, mention and briefly explain a medical condition that may arise due to alterations in the functioning of the reproductive system during puberty.
