Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3,4
Rationale 1: The androgens produced by the adrenal glands do not support sebaceous gland stimulation.
Rationale 2: The androgens produced by the adrenal glands do not support cartilage growth of the larynx.
Rationale 3: Adrenal androgens have a role in the growth of pubic hair.
Rationale 4: Adrenal androgens are thought to influence the skeletal growth spurt in adolescents.
Rationale 5: The androgens produced by the adrenal glands do not support sperm production.
Global Rationale: Adrenal androgens have a role in the growth of pubic hair and influence the skeletal growth spurt in adolescents. They do not support sebaceous gland stimulation, cartilage growth of the larynx, or sperm production.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Progesterone does not regulate testosterone production.
Rationale 2: Thyrotoxine does not regulate testosterone production.
Rationale 3: Luteinizing hormone regulates testosterone production.
Rationale 4: Gonadotropin-releasing hormone does not regulate testosterone production.
