Which hormone is responsible for regulating the process of spermatogenesis?
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Estrogen
Progesterone
The Correct Answer is A
A. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): FSH directly stimulates Sertoli cells in the testes to support sperm development and the process of spermatogenesis .
B. Luteinizing Hormone (LH): LH stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone, which indirectly supports spermatogenesis, but LH itself is not the primary regulator of the spermatogenic process.
C. Estrogen: Estrogen is present in males in small amounts (via aromatization of androgens) and has modulatory roles, but it is not the main hormone regulating spermatogenesis.
D. Progesterone: Progesterone has little to no direct role in regulating spermatogenesis in males.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Muscularis externa, submucosa, mucosa, serosa: This is out of order -muscularis externa is deeper than serosa but more superficial than the mucosa, so this ordering is incorrect.
B. Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, serosa: The mucosa (deepest layer lining the lumen) → submucosa → muscularis externa → serosa (outermost)is the correct sequence from deep to superficial .
C. Serosa, muscularis externa, submucosa, mucosa: This lists the layers from superficial to deep (reverse of what the question asked), so incorrect for deep to superficial.
D. Submucosa, mucosa, muscularis externa, serosa: This places submucosa deeper than mucosa (wrong); incorrect order.
Correct Answer is ["C","D"]
Explanation
A. Urea: Urea is a normal nitrogenous waste product excreted in urine; its presence alone is not indicative of diabetes (it reflects protein metabolism/kidney function).
B. Creatinine: Creatinine is a normal urinary waste product used to assess kidney function; its presence alone is not diagnostic of diabetes.
C. Glucose: Glucosuria (significant glucose in urine) suggests hyperglycemia and impaired glucose handling (common in diabetes) -indicative of a diabetic problem if present in large amounts.
D. Ketones: Ketonuria (significant ketones in urine) indicates fat breakdown/ketosis and is a sign of uncontrolled diabetes (e.g., diabetic ketoacidosis) -indicative of diabetic metabolic disturbance.
