Question

Match the following: A) Pituitary gland - I. Cortisol B) Adrenal cortex - II. Insulin C) Pancreas - III. Oxytocin D) Adrenal medulla - IV. Adrenaline

• A. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
• D. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

Hint:

Pituitary = Oxytocin; Adrenal cortex = Cortisol; Pancreas = Insulin.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: What to do.
We match each gland with a hormone it makes.

Step 2: Pituitary gland.
The posterior pituitary releases oxytocin. So A goes with III, oxytocin.

Step 3: Adrenal cortex.
The outer part of the adrenal gland, the cortex, makes steroid hormones like cortisol. So B goes with I, cortisol.

Step 4: Pancreas.
The beta cells of the pancreas make insulin, which lowers blood sugar. So C goes with II, insulin.

Step 5: Adrenal medulla.
The inner part of the adrenal gland, the medulla, makes adrenaline, the fight-or-flight hormone. So D goes with IV, adrenaline.

Step 6: Conclusion.
Putting it together, A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV, so the answer is "A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV". \[ \boxed{\text{A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV}} \]
