- Comprehend how different hormones regulate and impact their specific target organs.
Verified Answer
Note: A is incorrect because follicle-stimulating hormone plays a role in reproductive functions, B is incorrect because epinephrine is involved in the fight or flight response and not in inducing protein synthesis and cell division, D is incorrect because oxytocin is involved in uterine contractions and milk letdown, and E is incorrect because antidiuretic hormone regulates water balance in the body.
