question 7 of 10
which of these organs produces hormones under the influence of the
pituitary gland?
female reproductive anatomy
uterus
fallopian
tube
(oviduct)
endometrium
ovary
vagina
a. uterus
b. fallopian tube (oviduct)
c. vagina
d. ovary

Explanation:

To determine which organ produces hormones under the pituitary gland's influence, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Uterus): The uterus is mainly for embryo implantation and menstruation, not hormone production under pituitary control.
• Option B (Fallopian tube): Its role is transporting ova, not hormone production.
• Option C (Vagina): A muscular canal for childbirth/menstruation, no hormone production tied to the pituitary.
• Option D (Ovary): The pituitary gland (via FSH/LH) regulates ovarian hormone production (e.g., estrogen, progesterone) and ovulation.

Answer:

D. Ovary
