Question

Column I lists the endocrine structure and column II lists the corresponding hormones. Match the two columns. Identify the correct option from those given

	Column I		Column II
A	Hypothalamus	p	Relaxin
B	Anterior pituitary	q	Estrogen
C	Testis	r	FSH and LH
D	Ovary	s	Androgens
		t	Gonadotropin-releasing hormone

• A. $A=t,B=r,C=s,D=q$
• B. $A=t,B=r,C=q,D=s$
• C. $A=p,B=q,C=s,D=r$
• D. $A=r,B=t,C=s,D=q$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $A=t,B=r,C=s,D=q$

Hypothalamus is the portion of the brain that maintains the body's internal balance (homeostasis). The hypothalamus produces releasing and inhibiting hormones, which stop and start the production of other hormones throughout the body. Such as gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and thyrotrophin-releasing hormone.

Anterior pituitary: The front portion of the pituitary, a small gland in the head called the master gland. It produces six major hormones: (1) prolactin (PRL), (2) growth hormone (GH), (3) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), (4) luteinizing hormone (LH), (5) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and (6) thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Testicle or testis (plural testes) is the male reproductive gland or gonad in all animals, including humans. It produces androgens. The ovary is an organ found in the female reproductive system that produces an ovum. They also produce the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone.

So, the correct option is A.
