Match Each Hormone with Its Correct Description

Question 5

Matching

Match each hormone with its correct description.

Premises:

Responses:

estrogen

triggers ovulation; stimulates Leydig cells in the testes to secrete testosterone

follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)

secreted by follicular cells; stimulates the growth of a new endometrium

inhibin

secreted by the developing embryo; maintains function of the corpus luteum

relaxin

induces contraction of the uterus

progesterone

stimulates oocytes in the ovaries to begin meiosis; stimulates Sertoli cells in the testes to secrete molecules needed for spermatogenesis

testosterone

secreted by Leydig cells; stimulates spermatogenesis and controls the growth and function of male reproductive structures

luteinizing hormone (LH)

stimulates growth of the uterine lining and inhibits contractions of the uterus

gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)

secreted by the corpus luteum and helps maintain the endometrium; secreted by Sertoli cells and inhibits FSH secretion by the anterior pituitary

oxytocin

secreted by the corpus luteum even after it regresses later in pregnancy; blocks uterine contractions until the time of birth is near

human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)

secreted by the hypothalamus; stimulates the release of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary
