Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1-d, 2-f, 3-g, 4-e, 5-b, 6-a, 7-c
The correct matching of hormones with their secretory organs:
- Estrogen: Theca interna cells of Graafian follicle (in females); also Sertoli cells in males in small amounts
- Progesterone: Corpus luteum (primary source)
- Testosterone: Leydig cells (interstitial cells of testes)
- Prolactin: Anterior pituitary (mammotroph cells)
- Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH): Sertoli cells of testes (in males); granulosa cells of preantral follicles (in females)
- Epinephrine (Adrenaline): Adrenal medulla
- Renin: Kidney (juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney)
Clinical Note on AMH
AMH inhibits the development of Mullerian (paramesonephric) duct in male embryos, causing regression of the female reproductive tract precursor. Its serum level is also used as a marker of ovarian reserve in females.
