Statement I: | A hypothalamic hormone called Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the synthesis and release of gonadotrophins by gonads. |
Statement II: | Somatostatin from the hypothalamus stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary. |
I: | In males, LH stimulates the synthesis and secretion of hormones called androgens from testis. |
II: | In males, FSH and androgens regulate spermatogenesis. |
III: | In females, LH induces ovulation of fully mature follicles (graafian follicles) and maintains the corpus luteum, formed from the remnants of the graafian follicles after ovulation. |
IV: | FSH stimulates growth and development of the ovarian follicles in females. |

Assertion (A): | Oxytocin helps in parturition and causes milk ejection from the mammary glands. |
Reason (R): | Oxytocin acts on the smooth muscles of our body and stimulates their contraction. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
In males, androgens like testosterone secreted by Leydig cells in testes do not:
1. | regulate the development, maturation and functions of the male accessory sex organs |
2. | control the development and regulation of the secondary sexual characters |
3. | play a major stimulatory role in the process of spermatogenesis |
4. | produce catabolic effects on protein and carbohydrate metabolism |
1. | Androgens | 2. | Estrogens |
3. | Aldosterone | 4. | Gonadotropins |
I: | regulate the development, maturation and functions of the male accessory sex organs. |
II: | stimulate muscular growth, growth of facial and axillary hair, aggressiveness, low pitch of voice etc. |
III: | play a major stimulatory role in the process of spermatogenesis (formation of spermatozoa). |
IV: | act on the central neural system and influence the male sexual behaviour (libido). |
V: | produce anabolic (synthetic) effects on protein and carbohydrate metabolism. |
Consider the following regarding the actions of steroidal hormones produced by human ovary:
I: | Estrogen is responsible for the development and maintenance of secondary sexual characters in females |
II: | Progesterone is a pregnancy hormone |
III: | Estrogen regulates female sexual behavior |
IV: | Progesterone stimulates the formation of alveoli in mammary glands |
Select correct statements from above statements
1. | I, II and III | 2. | I, II and IV |
3. | II, III and IV | 4. | I, II, III and IV |
Statement I: | Estrogens stimulate growth and activities of female secondary sex organs, development of growing ovarian follicles, and appearance of female secondary sex characters. |
Statement II: | Progesterone supports pregnancy. |
Statement I: | The estrogen is synthesised and secreted mainly by the growing ovarian follicles. |
Statement II: | After ovulation, the ruptured follicle is converted to a structure called corpus luteum, which secretes mainly progesterone. |
