A rapid, sharp increase in this hormone stimulates ovulation in females. Correct Answer: LH
This hormone increases the metabolic rate and protein synthesis in its target cells. Correct
Answer: T3/T4
This hormone helps maintain normal blood glucose levels by increasing the breakdown of
glycogen and fat. Correct Answer: glucagon
This hormone impacts essentially all cells in the body, but has a particularly strong effect on the
skeletal and muscular systems by causing elongation of long bones and hypertrophy of muscles.
Correct Answer: GH
This hormone stimulates the development of ovarian follicles and the maturation of oocytes in
females. Correct Answer: FSH
This hormone plays a direct role in the maturation of T-lymphocyte white blood cells Correct
Answer: thymosin
This hormone increases blood calcium by liberating it from bone, decreasing its loss in urine and
activating the calcitriol hormone. Correct Answer: parathyroid hormone
