Which one of the following is INCORRECT pair regarding to the hormone and its source of secretion: |
Hormone Source of secretion Relaxin Corpus luteum Hormone Source of secretion Oestrogens Corpus luteum Hormone Source of secretion Oestrogens Graafian follicles Hormone Source of secretion Progesterone Corpus luteum |
Hormone Source of secretion Oestrogens Corpus luteum |
The correct answer is Option (2) - Hormone Source of secretion Oestrogens Corpus luteum
Ovary gland secretes oestrogens, progesterone, relaxin, inhibin and estradiol hormones. Oestrogen secreted by graffian follicles, stimulates maturation of ova. Progesterone is secreted by the corpus luteum, stimulates development of the uterine epithelium and mammary gland. Relaxin is also secreted by the corpus luteum only during the later stages of pregnancy and helps to softens ligaments. Inhibin secreted by the corpus luteum inhibits the FSH production. Estradiol is the principal feminizing oestrogens. |
