ZOO 101 The Role of Hormones in Human Reproduction Objective Question

Question

If inhibin levels increase, what happens to FSH?
Options
A It increases
B It decreases
Correct Answer
C It stays the same
D It converts to LH
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Inhibin exerts negative feedback on the pituitary gland specifically to inhibit FSH secretion. An increase in inhibin would therefore lead to a decrease in FSH.

Remember the negative feedback loop: high product from gonads signals the pituitary to reduce stimulation.
