Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TSH stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, which stimulates the synthesis of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland.

Answer: B, D
 Hormones that increase adrenal cortex secretions and milk production are not listed as options. These functions are controlled by Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) and Prolactin, respectively. Therefore, there is no correct answer to match either of these functions to TSH.

Answer: C, E
 Neither of these functions are associated with TSH. Development of the immune system is controlled by many hormones, including Thymosin, Interleukins, and Colony Stimulating Factors, but not TSH. Decreasing blood calcium levels is controlled by Calcitonin, not TSH. Therefore, there is no correct answer to match either of these functions to TSH.
