Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Limit spermatogenesis
Concept:

Testosterone is a critical androgen responsible for male sexual development and continuous sperm generation.

Solution:

  • Testosterone works synergistically with FSH to actively promote and sustain high rates of sperm production (spermatogenesis).


  • It does NOT limit spermatogenesis. High systemic levels of testosterone will inhibit pituitary LH via negative feedback, but locally in the testes, it is an absolute requirement for making sperm.


Why other options are incorrect:

Because testosterone supports sperm production and negatively inhibits LH/FSH, options B, C, and D are true physiological functions, making A the false statement.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
