Which hormone primarily stimulates cells to reproduce and heal by promoting cell growth and regeneration?
A
Cortisol
B
Adrenaline
C
Insulin
D
Growth hormone (GH)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each hormone listed in the problem: Cortisol, Adrenaline, Insulin, and Growth Hormone (GH).
Recall that Growth Hormone (GH), also known as somatotropin, is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and is primarily responsible for stimulating cell growth, reproduction, and regeneration.
Note that Cortisol, produced by the adrenal glands, is involved in stress response and metabolism regulation, not cell growth or regeneration.
Recognize that Adrenaline (epinephrine), also produced by the adrenal glands, is involved in the 'fight or flight' response and does not promote cell growth or healing.
Understand that Insulin, secreted by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels and is not directly involved in promoting cell reproduction or regeneration, making Growth Hormone (GH) the correct answer.
