Question

question 15 of 20
which of the following hormones controls secretion of adrenal androgens?

• calcitonin
• adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth)
• parathormone
• thyroid - stimulating hormone (tsh)

Explanation:

To determine which hormone controls adrenal androgen secretion, we analyze each option:

• Calcitonin: Regulates calcium levels, not adrenal androgens.
• Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH): Stimulates the adrenal cortex, including androgen secretion.
• Parathormone: Regulates calcium and phosphate, not adrenal androgens.
• Thyroid - stimulating hormone (TSH): Acts on the thyroid, not the adrenal gland.

Answer:

B. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
