Identify the correct statement on inhibin.
Inhibits the secretion of LH, FSH, and Prolactin
Is produced by granulosa cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSH
Is produced by granulosa cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of LH
Is produced by nurse cells in testes and inhibits the secretion of LH
To solve this problem, we need to identify the correct statement about inhibin. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Inhibits the secretion of LH, FSH, and Prolactin - Inhibin specifically inhibits the secretion of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and does not inhibit LH (Luteinizing Hormone) or Prolactin. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Option 2: Is produced by granulosa cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSH - Inhibin is indeed produced by granulosa cells in the ovary. - Its primary function is to inhibit the secretion of FSH. - Therefore, this statement is correct.Option 3: Is produced by granulosa cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of LH - While inhibin is produced by granulosa cells, it does not inhibit LH secretion. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Option 4: Is produced by nurse cells in testes and inhibits the secretion of LH - Inhibin is produced by Sertoli cells (nurse cells) in the testes, but it inhibits FSH, not LH. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Based on the analysis, the correct statement is:Option 2: Is produced by granulosa cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSHThis corresponds to the correct option, which is Option 2.
