The hormone from the hypothalamus stimulating release of FSH from the anterior pituitary is:
Correct answer: A. Gonadotropin
- A. Gonadotropin
- B. Oxytocin
- C. Luteinizing hormone
- D. Progesterone
Explanation
The term gonadotropin refers to hormones that stimulate the gonads (testes and ovaries). Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are both gonadotropins, but gonadotropin alone is not specific enough to identify the hormone from the hypothalamus.
