Question

question 11 (1 point)
the gonadotropic hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary and target the reproductive organs are:
a) tsh, acth, adh
b) fsh, lh
c) adh & prolactin
d) oxytocin & hgh
question 12 (1 point)
the lack of the following hormone results in dwarfism:
a) insulin
b) glucagons
c) adrenaline
d) growth hormone

Explanation:

• Question 11: Gonadotropic hormones target reproductive organs. Follicle - stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are secreted by the anterior pituitary and act on gonads (reproductive organs). TSH (thyroid - stimulating hormone) acts on the thyroid, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) acts on the adrenal cortex, ADH (antidiuretic hormone) acts on the kidneys, prolactin is involved in milk production, oxytocin is for uterine contractions and milk ejection, and HGH (human growth hormone) is for growth in general.
• Question 12: Growth hormone (GH) is essential for normal growth. Insulin is for glucose metabolism, glucagons raises blood glucose levels, and adrenaline is involved in the "fight - or - flight" response. A lack of growth hormone in childhood can lead to dwarfism.

Answer:

• Question 11: B. FSH, LH
• Question 12: D. growth hormone
