Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these hormones is produced by females?

Answer: all of these

Estrogen is made in the ovaries. Testosterone is also made in the ovaries, but in much less amount than estrogen. Oxytocin is produced in females by the pituitary gland, and it is responsible for the flow of milk (from the breast) during lactation. It is also responsible for the contraction of the uterus during childbirth.

2. An Epi-Pen contains what?

Answer: epinephrine

An Epi-Pen is generally used for allergic reactions. It contains epinephrine which helps stop the allergic reaction.

3. Prolactin is produced in which of the following?

Answer: Both male and females

Prolactin stimulates the production of milk in the mammary glands. It is also produced in males, but no function for prolactin in men has been identified.

4. What does follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) do in males?

Answer: It stimulates sperm production.

FSH has nothing to do with orgasms in both females and males. Testosterone production is governed by luteinizing hormone.

5. Which gland secretes growth hormone (GH)?

Answer: the pituitary gland

The pituitary gland is the master gland that produces most of your body's hormones, including GH. The thymus gland produces hormones that stimulate the formation of T-Cells. The thyroid gland releases hormones that help regulate heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The adrenal gland releases adrenaline, which is part of the body's "fight or flight" response.

6. Insulin is produced where?

Answer: The pancreas

Insulin is produced in the pancreas and it helps regulate the body's blood sugar levels.

7. What does the hormone melatonin do?

Answer: It helps to regulate sleep patterns.

Melatonin is produced in the pineal gland. The thyroid gland helps increase celluar metabolic rates. The pancreas stimulates the release of glucose, and the parathyroid glands increase blood calcium concentrations.

8. Progesterone and estrogen are hormones that are present in males.

Answer: True

Both progesterone and estrogen are present in males, and estrogen is even needed by males to produce viable sperm.

9. The adrenal glands sit right on top of the kidneys.

Answer: True

The adrenal glands secrete adrenaline which is important for the fight-or-flight response. Adrenaline is also used to counteract allergic reactions (an Epi-Pen).

10. The sex hormones are produced where?

Answer: The gonads

The gonads are the ovaries in females, and the testes in males. Gametes are sperm and egg cells.
