Which hormone stimulates mitosis and cellular differentiation and thus promotes tissue growth throughout the body?
Multiple choice question.
O Thyroid releasing hormone (TRH)
O Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
O Growth hormone (GH)
O Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)



Answer :

Answer:

The answer is:  Growth hormone (GH)

Here's why:

* **Growth hormone (GH)**: This hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and is essential for stimulating cell division and growth throughout the body. It directly affects tissues like bone, muscle, and cartilage.

* **Thyroid releasing hormone (TRH):**  This hormone stimulates the production of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), not directly involved in mitosis or differentiation.

* **Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH):** This hormone regulates thyroid function, not directly involved in mitosis or differentiation.

* **Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH):**  This hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex to release cortisol, which is involved in stress response and metabolism, not directly involved in mitosis or differentiation.
