Synthesis of Hormones
A researcher is interested in studying the synthesis of peptide and steroid hormones. She harvests five samples of cells from different hormone-producing organs
of the body and allows each sample of cells (Cell Types 1-5) to synthesize its hormones for a period of time. Afterwards, she measures the intracellular concentration of the hormones synthesized in each Cell Type. The results are displayed in the corresponding
chart. Based on the information provided, where would Cell Type 2 likely be found in the human body?
A. Adrenal cortex
B. Adrenal medulla
C. Anterior pituitary
D. Hypothalamus
E. Pancreas
