Question

Inhibin, a hormone that inhibits synthesis and release of follicle-stimulating hormone, is secreted by which of the following structures?

(A) Prostate gland
(B) Sertoli cells
(C) Seminal vesicles
(D) Bulbourethral glands
(E) Interstitial cells of Leydig

Answer 1

Inhibin, a hormone that inhibits FSH synthesis and release, is secreted by the Sertoli cells in the testes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inhibin is a hormone that inhibits the synthesis and release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). It is secreted by the Sertoli cells, which are found in the testes. The Sertoli cells produce inhibin in response to FSH, creating a negative feedback loop that regulates the levels of FSH and testosterone in the body.
