Which of the Following Hormones is Correctly Paired with Its

Question

Which of the following hormones is correctly paired with its function?
A)FSH: to stimulate processes within the gonads
B)ACTH: to promote production of thyroxin
C)calcitonin: to regulate plasma Na²⁺ and Ca²⁺
D)insulin: to regulate metabolism and proton concentration

Accepted Answer

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is a hormone that stimulates the growth and development of follicles in the ovaries or testes, which are responsible for producing and releasing hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. It is correctly paired with its function in option A, which states that FSH stimulates processes within the gonads.

B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly pair the hormone with its function. ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the production of cortisol, not thyroxin (option B). Calcitonin regulates plasma calcium levels, not sodium and calcium levels (option C). Insulin regulates blood glucose levels, not metabolism and proton concentration (option D).
