Question

question 5 of 10
how does the body control puberty?
a. the circulatory system produces proteins.
b. the nervous system produces gametes.
c. the endocrine system produces hormones.
d. the respiratory system produces a uterus.

Explanation:

The endocrine system releases hormones like gonadotropin - releasing hormone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle - stimulating hormone. These hormones are crucial for the onset and progression of puberty. For example, luteinizing hormone and follicle - stimulating hormone act on the gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) to trigger the development of secondary sexual characteristics. The circulatory system transports substances but doesn't produce proteins related to puberty control. The nervous system is involved in transmitting signals but not in producing gametes (gametes are produced by the reproductive system). The respiratory system is for gas exchange and has no role in producing a uterus (the uterus is part of the female reproductive system).

Answer:

C. The endocrine system produces hormones.
