Correct:
A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 based on the functional matching of endocrine glands with their respective hormones:
- A - Pancreas (4): The pancreas contains alpha cells in the Islets of Langerhans that secrete Glucagon, which increases blood glucose levels.
- B - Pituitary (3): The anterior pituitary gland produces Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid gland.
- C - Adrenals (1): The adrenal cortex secretes Cortisol, a glucocorticoid essential for metabolism and stress response.
- D - Kidneys (2): The kidneys play a vital role in endocrine function by converting calcidiol into calcitriol (active Vitamin D), necessary for calcium absorption.
Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect because they misattribute these specific biochemical products. For instance, Vitamin D is uniquely activated by the kidneys, and TSH is exclusively a pituitary hormone, making the sequence 4-3-1-2 the only physiologically accurate match.
