Question 5 • 670417 Psychology S1 - MOSELEY, MELISSA K

Which of the following statements concerning testosterone is not correct?

Answer
A
Testosterone is produced by both the testes and ovaries.
B
Testosterone assists in the development of male sex characteristics.
C
Testosterone is considered a stress hormone that helps regulate blood pressure.
D
Testosterone assists in bone and muscle formation.

Explanation

Testosterone contributes to male sex characteristics and supports bone and muscle development. It is produced mainly by the testes, and smaller amounts are produced by the ovaries. Testosterone is not a stress hormone that regulates blood pressure; hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone have those roles, so statement C is not correct.
