Question

question 4
the ___ controls sexual development and the development of sperm.
o thyroid
o testicles
o thymus
o pineal gland

question 5
the compound term poly/dips/ia means:
o excessive thirst
o excessive urination
o increased food intake
o increased weakness

question 6
the anterior part of the pituitary gland secretes which hormones?
o lh, hgh, tsh and acth
o oxytocin, testosterone, interstitial cell stimulating and vasopressin
o prolactin, oxytocin, estrogen and progesterone
o acth, vasopressin and fsh

Explanation:

• Question 4: The testicles (testes) are the male reproductive organs that produce sperm and secrete testosterone, which is crucial for sexual development. The thyroid gland is involved in metabolism regulation, the thymus is related to immune - system development (especially in children), and the pineal gland is associated with circadian rhythms.
• Question 5: In medical terminology, “poly -” means excessive, “dips -” is related to thirst, and “-ia” is a suffix. So “polydipsia” means excessive thirst. “Polyuria” means excessive urination, “polyphagia” means increased food intake, and there is no such standard root combination for increased weakness in this term.
• Question 6: The anterior pituitary gland secretes luteinizing hormone (LH), human growth hormone (HGH or GH), thyroid - stimulating hormone (TSH), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Oxytocin is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. Testosterone is mainly produced by the testes (in males) and in small amounts by the ovaries (in females). Interstitial Cell Stimulating hormone is another name for LH. Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) is secreted by the posterior pituitary. Estrogen and progesterone are mainly ovarian hormones. Prolactin is secreted by the anterior pituitary, but oxytocin (as mentioned) is not an anterior - pituitary secretion in this context.

Answer:

• Question 4: Testicles
• Question 5: excessive thirst
• Question 6: LH, HGH, TSH and ACTH
