Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following hormones is matched incorrectly to its function. Is it answer choice. A aldosterone is in charge of salt regulation. Answer choice B, adrenocorticotropic hormone is in charge of the regulation of sex hormone production. Answer choice C oxytocin is involved in the stimulation of uterus contractions. Answer choice D glucagon is in charge of decreasing blood sugar levels or answer choice. E thyroid hormone is in charge of metabolism regulation. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices contains a hormone matched incorrectly to its function. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what each of the following hormones is responsible for. To determine which of the following includes a hormone matched incorrectly to its function. Starting off with answer choice. A which says that aldosterone is in charge of salt regulation, which we know is a correct match as aldosterone is in charge of salt regulation as well as the regulation of water balance by increasing sodium reabsorption in the kidneys. So answer choice A cannot be the correct answer. Next. We have answer choice B which says that adrenocorticotropic hormone is in charge of deregulation of sex hormone production. Which we know that the adrenocorticotropic hormone is responsible for the regulation of sex hormone production. As adrenocorticotropic hormone regulates androgen production, which androgen refers to the sex hormones. So answer choice B is also correctly matched. So it cannot be the correct answer. Next, we have answer choice C which says that Oxytocin is responsible for the stimulation of uterus contractions, which we know that Oxytocin is the hormone responsible for the stimulation of uterus contractions. As Oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth and plays a role in lactation. So answer choice C is a correct match and cannot be the correct answer. Next, we have answer choice D which says that Glucagon is responsible for decreasing blood sugar levels, which we note that Glucagon does not decrease blood sugar levels and instead increases blood sugar levels. Since Glucagon promotes the breakdown of glycol through the process of glycogenolysis and it stimulates the conversion of amino acids into glucose. So it does not decrease blood sugar levels and instead increases blood sugar levels. So answer choice D is an incorrect match making answer choice D, the correct answer. And lastly answer choice E is incorrect. Since thyroid hormone is responsible for metabolism regulation as the thyroid hormones, T three and T four play a crucial role in regulating metabolism. So answer choice D is the only answer choice containing a hormone matched incorrectly to its function. So answer choice D is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful.
