Hello, everybody. I hope all is well and said, I will be helping you with the 12th problem of the Chapter 42 problems that so the question is asking which hormone stimulates stimulates the feudal adrenal cortex to release androgens during March. Part tradition. So it's very important. Thio know this because, um, the insurgents are very important. So how I do this is I due process of elimination, not D is definitely going to be be so a B c d. And then I'm just due process of elimination and I'd go down the list. So fetal a see th So again, this is when the fetal adrenal cortex is releasing androgen, so that can possibly be true. Fetal estrogen. So no, the feudal estrogen does not help with that because not necessarily pertaining to that maternal a c T. H. No. The Mercer Maternal A C T. H does not stimulate the fetal adrenal cortex. Maternal estrogen, because it's a lot of the maternal hormones do not necessarily affect the baby, because the maternal hormones deal with the mom and what she is necessarily doing. So that only leaves fetal a C T. H to stimulate so This is stimulation. Uh, the adrenal cortex, which will then release androgens. So it is very important to know that. And I hope you have a great day. And I hope you found this very helpful. Thank you very much for tuning.
