Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary function of each hormone listed in the options.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is known for its role in the reproductive system. It stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in females and the production of sperm in males.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) primarily targets the thyroid gland to regulate the production of thyroid hormones, which are crucial for metabolism.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, a hormone involved in stress response and metabolism.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) works closely with FSH in the reproductive system. It triggers ovulation in females and stimulates testosterone production in males. However, FSH is specifically responsible for the development of ova and sperm.
