Q120 (IAS/2000) Science & Technology › Basic Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) › Human anatomy physiology Answer Verified

Match List I (Endocrine glands) with List II (Hormones secreted) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the Lists

List I | List II
I. Gonads | (A) Insulin
II. Pituitary | (B) Progesterone
III. Pancreas | (C) Growth hormones
IV. Adrenal | (D) Cortisone

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 (I-B, II-C, III-A, IV-D). This matching accurately aligns each endocrine gland with its primary secreted hormone based on physiological functions:

  • I. Gonads – (B) Progesterone: In females, the ovaries (gonads) secrete progesterone, which is essential for regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy.
  • II. Pituitary – (C) Growth hormones: Often called the 'Master Gland', the anterior pituitary produces Growth Hormone (Somatotropin), which stimulates cellular reproduction and regeneration.
  • III. Pancreas – (A) Insulin: The Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas secrete insulin to regulate blood glucose levels.
  • IV. Adrenal – (D) Cortisone: The adrenal cortex produces corticosteroids like cortisone, which help the body respond to stress and reduce inflammation.

Options 1, 2, and 4 are incorrect because they mismatch these specific glandular secretions, such as incorrectly attributing insulin to the adrenal glands or growth hormones to the gonads.
