Testosterone is best described as
A) virilizing.
B) lactogenic.
C) adenohypophyseal.
D) pancreatic.

Accepted Answer

Testosterone is a male sex hormone that promotes the development of male sexual characteristics, such as deepening of voice and facial hair growth. This process is known as virilization. Choice B (lactogenic) refers to hormone production related to milk production and has nothing to do with testosterone. Choice C (adenohypophyseal) refers to hormones produced by the anterior pituitary gland, which is not the source of testosterone. Choice D (pancreatic) refers to hormones such as insulin and glucagon that are produced by the pancreas and regulate glucose metabolism, which is also unrelated to testosterone.
