Question

Identify hormones not antagonistic in function.

• A. Growth hormone- somatostatin
• B. Calcitonin- parathormone
• C. Adrenaline- noradrenaline
• D. Insulin- glucagon

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Adrenaline- noradrenaline

Antagonistic hormones are actually pairs of hormones that work against each other. Growth hormone-somatostatin, Calcitonin -parathormone, Insulin-glucagon, they are constantly fighting against each other in order to maintain homeostasis. Adrenaline -noradrenaline hormones are not the antagonist in function because they have similar functions, they together play a role in our body's natural fight-or-flight response to stress

So, the correct answer is 'Adrenaline-noradrenaline'.
