Which hormone is NOT matched with its appropriate function? a. growth hormone; lengthens bones b. leptin; regulates bone density c. calcitonin; increases blood calcium levels d. osteocalcin; regulates glucose metabolism

Answer: Option D) osteocalcin; regulates glucose metabolism is not correctly matched

Explanation:

The function of osteocalcin, secreted by cells of the bone (osteoblasts) is to regulate body metabolism by increasing the level of calcium in the bone.

Insulin and Glucagon secreted by the pancreas, on the other hand, regulate glucose metabolism by lowering and increasing the level of blood sugar respectively.

Thus, osteocalcin; regulates glucose metabolism is not a correct match
