3. Is produced by granulose cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of LH.
4. Is produced by nurse cells in testes and inhibits the secretion of LH.

Correct answer: Is produced by granulose cells in ovary and inhibits the secretion of FSH.

Solution

Inhibin is secreted by granulosa cells in the ovary and acts on the anterior pituitary to specifically inhibit FSH release. It does not primarily suppress LH or prolactin.
