Column 1 (Hormone)	Column 2 (Function)
P. Thymosins	1. Increases the heart rate
Q. Parathyroid hormone	2. Promotes the production of antibodies
R. Adrenaline	3. Increases absorption of calcium from digested food
S. Aldosterone	4. Stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water

• A. P - 2, Q - 3, R -1, S - 4
• B. P - 1, Q - 3, R - 4, S - 2
• C. P - 2, Q - 4, R - 3, S -1
• D. P - 4, Q - 1, R - 2, S - 3

Answer 1

The correct option is A P - 2, Q - 3, R -1, S - 4

Thymosins hormones are produced by thymus gland. It plays major role in development of the antibodies and differentiation of T- lymphocytes.

Parathyroid hormones are produced by parathyroid gland. It increases the blood calcium levels when it falls below the normal level. It causes bone resorption, increases absorption of calcium from digested food and stimulates reabsorption of calcium from renal tubules.

Adrenaline hormone is released by adrenal medulla inner region of the adrenal gland. It is secreted during emergency situations and is called hormone of Fight or Flight. It increase the heart beat, the strength of heart contraction and the rate of respiration.

Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid synthesised by adrenal cortex, outer region of the adrenal gland. It stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water and excretion of K+ and phosphate ions
