Select the option which correctly matches the endocrine gland with its hormone and its function :
Correct answer: C. Option C: Testis - Testosterone - Develops male characteristics
- A. Option A: Thyroid gland - Insulin - Regulates blood sugar levels
- B. Option B: Adrenal gland - Estrogen - Regulates female reproductive system
- C. Option C: Testis - Testosterone - Develops male characteristics
- D. Option D: Pancreas - Thyroxine - Regulates metabolism
Explanation
Testis are produced by testosterone. The testes are the male reproductive glands that produce sperm for fertilization and the hormone testosterone. Testosterone is a crucial hormone that drives male sexual development, responsible for features like a deepened voice, muscle and body hair growth, and the development of male reproductive organs. It also supports adult male characteristics such as maintaining bone density, muscle mass, and libido.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
