Question

Which of the following hormones is mispaired with its target organ? a. TSH— thyroid b. FSH— gonads c. ACTH— adrenal cortex d. LH— kidney e. Gonadotropic hormones— testes and ovaries

Answer 1

d. LH— kidney

Step-by-step explanation:

Target organ is the specific organ on which the hormone or drug or any substance preferentially acts.

The target organ of TSH is the thyroid gland.

ACTH is secreted by the corticotropes of anterior pituitary gland. Target tissue for the hormone is adrenal cortex.

Gonadotropic hormones - These are the hormones that acts on the gonads which are testes in case of the male and ovaries in case of the females.

FSH and Luteinizing hormone (LH) are both secreted by regulated by Anterior Pituitary gland. The target tissue of both FSH and LH in males are the sertoli cells within the testes and in the female the granulosa cells of the ovary.

Hence option D is not correctly matched.
