Which process in the body is primarily controlled by testosterone?
A
Development of male secondary sexual characteristics
B
Regulation of calcium levels in the blood
C
Control of the sleep-wake cycle
D
Regulation of blood glucose levels
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the primary function of testosterone in the body. Testosterone is a hormone predominantly found in males, although it is present in females in smaller amounts.
Understand that testosterone is crucial for the development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics. These include features such as facial hair, deepening of the voice, and increased muscle mass.
Recognize that testosterone does not play a direct role in regulating calcium levels in the blood. This function is primarily controlled by hormones such as parathyroid hormone and calcitonin.
Acknowledge that the control of the sleep-wake cycle is mainly influenced by melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland, rather than testosterone.
Note that the regulation of blood glucose levels is primarily managed by insulin and glucagon, hormones produced by the pancreas, and not by testosterone.
