Question
Which of the following hormones is mismatched with its function?Multiple ChoiceGnRH—stimulates the anterior pituitaryTestosterone—brings about male secondary sexual characteristicsFSH—stimulates the hypothalamusLH—controls the production of testosteroneInhibin—blocks GnRH and FSH secretion
Solution
The hormone that is mismatched with its function is FSH—stimulates the hypothalamus. The correct function of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is to stimulate the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovary before the release of an egg from one follicle at ovulation. It also stimulates sperm production in men. It does not stimulate the hypothalamus.
