Question: 61
1. Which of the following associations between a hormone and its category is INCORRECT?
- A. Aldosterone—mineralocorticoid
- B. Testosterone—cortical sex hormone
- C. ADH—mineralocorticoid
- D. Cortisone—glucocorticoid
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Unlike the other hormones listed here, ADH is not secreted by the adrenal cortex and is therefore not a –corticoid. Rather, ADH is a peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary that promotes water reabsorption. The other associations are all correct.
