Which of the following glands regulates the release of the hormone testosterone?

a. Intercostal muscles: Intercostal muscles are located between the ribs and help with breathing movements. They don't separate the pleurae.

b. Pleural cavity: The pleural cavity is the space between the pleura and the lung on each side. There isn't another pleural cavity within this space.

c. Mediastinum: The pleura are two thin membranes that line the lungs and inner chest wall. The mediastinum is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity, containing essential structures like the heart, trachea, esophagus, and major blood vessels. It separates the right and left pleural cavities.

d. Diaphragm: The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle separating the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. While it plays a role in respiration, it doesn't directly separate the pleurae

a: Testes - The testes are located outside the body cavity within the scrotum and are responsible for producing sperm and testosterone.

b. Prostate: The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ located at the neck of the bladder and surrounds the urethra. It plays a role in the production of seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm.

c: Rugae - Rugae are folds in the mucous membrane lining the urinary bladder that allow it to stretch as it fills with urine; they do not surround the urethra.

d: Bulbourethral - The bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands) are pea-sized glands located below the prostate gland that secrete a clear fluid into the urethra during sexual arousal, but they do not surround the urethra at the neck of the bladder.
