Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates primary follicles in a female's ovary to grow and mature.

Answer: B
 Luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum in females. In males, LH stimulates the production of testosterone.

Answer: C
 Estrogens are responsible for the growth and development of female sex organs, including the uterus, vagina, and breasts. Estrogens also regulate the menstrual cycle and help maintain bone density.

Answer: G
 Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, responsible for the development of male reproductive organs, secondary sex characteristics, and sperm production.

Answer: E
 Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by the placenta during pregnancy and helps maintain the corpus luteum, which produces estrogen and progesterone necessary for the maintenance of pregnancy.

Answer: A
 Progesterone helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy and regulates the menstrual cycle.

Answer: F
 Relaxin helps relax the muscles in the uterus and cervix during pregnancy and prepares the body for childbirth.

Answer: H
