Biology Question on Hormones
Which of the following hormones is not secreted by human placenta?
A
FSH
B
hCG
C
Relaxin
D
Progestogen
Answer
FSH
Explanation
Solution
The hormone that is not secreted by the human placenta is FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone).
FSH is a hormone primarily secreted by the pituitary gland in both males and females. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of reproductive processes, such as the development and maturation of ovarian follicles in females and the production of sperm in males. While the placenta plays a vital role in the production and secretion of various hormones during pregnancy, it does not produce FSH. FSH production is regulated by the anterior pituitary gland.
