Solution

The correct option is D A- IV, B- I, C- II, D- III
A) The pituitary gland is divided into two parts which secrete different hormones.
Hormones secreted by Anterior Pituitary:
(i) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
(ii) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
(iii) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
(iv) Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
(v) Growth Hormone (GH)
(vi) Prolactin
Hormones secreted by Posterior Pituitary:
(i) Oxytocin
(ii) Antidiuretic Hormone or Vasopressin
B) The pineal gland is a tiny endocrine gland found in the brain which produces and secretes the hormone melatonin that helps regulate biological rhythms such as sleep and wake cycles.
C) There are two thyroid hormones: T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). T3 and T4 regulate your body's temperature, metabolism and heart rate.
D) The adrenal gland is divided into two parts: cortex and medulla.
The adrenal cortex produces three hormones:
(i) Mineralocorticoids
(ii) Glucocorticoids
(iii) Adrenal androgens
The adrenal medulla produces catecholamines:
(i) adrenaline
(ii) noradrenaline
(iii) dopamine
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
