Solution

The correct option is A In females, FSH first bind with specific receptors on ovarian cell membrane
In women, FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovary before the release of an egg from one follicle at ovulation. This is achieved by the binding of the hormone to specific receptors on the ovarian cell membrane.
The secretion of estrogen and progesterone is dependent on both FSH and LH.
Glucagon is secreted by α-cells of islets of Langerhans and stimulate glycogenolysis, i.e., the breakdown of glycogen into glucose.
Thymosin hormone secreted by thymus glands stimulates the development of certain kinds of white blood cells involved in producing immunity.
