Solution
The correct option is A Testes
All the mentioned organs are involved in the production of hormones.
Testes produce male sex hormones called androgens, the heart walls secrete ANF (atrial natriuretic factor), the kidney is involved in the secretion of erythropoietin and pancreas secretes glucagon, insulin and somatostatin.
Apart from hormones, testes produce gametes i.e sperms. Sperms are haploid cells that are formed when the microspore mother cells undergo meiotic divisions.
Cells are considered to be haploid when they have a single set of chromosomes.
The heart is the organ responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to different organs of the body and collecting deoxygenated blood from different parts of the body.
The exocrine part of the pancreas produces enzymes important for digestion- trypsin and chymotrypsin for the digestion of proteins, amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates and lipases for the digestion of lipids.
Kidneys are responsible for the excretion of nitrogenous waste products from our body.
