Which of the following are tropic hormones? (Select one that doesn't apply.)
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Tropic hormones are hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands to release their hormones. Antidiuretic hormone (C) is not a tropic hormone; it acts on the kidneys to regulate water balance. Somatotropin (A), follicle-stimulating hormone (B), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (D) are all tropic hormones that stimulate the release of hormones from other glands.
