Question

Which of the following is INCORRECTLY matched with its secreting organ?

A) estrogen — ovaries
B) calcitonin — thyroid gland
C) FSH — ovaries
D) All of the above are matched correctly

Answer 1

The INCORRECTLY matched hormone with its secreting organ is C) FSH — ovaries; FSH is produced in the pituitary gland, not the ovaries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which hormone is INCORRECTLY matched with its secreting organ. From the options provided:

A) estrogen — ovaries (Correct)

B) calcitonin — thyroid gland (Correct)

C) FSH — ovaries (Incorrect)

D) All of the above are matched correctly (Incorrect)

The correct answer is C) FSH — ovaries because FSH, or follicle-stimulating hormone, is produced in the pituitary gland, not the ovaries. Estrogen is, in fact, secreted by the ovaries, and calcitonin is secreted by the thyroid gland, making both A and B correct.
