Match the items given in Column I with the most appropriate ones in Column II and rewrite the correct matching pairs

Column 1	Column 2
Cretinism	Hypersecretion of adrenal cortex
Diabetes insipidus	Hypersecretion of thyroxine
Exophthalmic goitre	Hyposecretion of growth hormone
Adrenal virilism	Hyposecretion of vasopressin
Dwarfism	Hyposecretion of thyroxine

Answer 1

(A) Cretinism (V) Hyposecretion of thyroxine

1. The hyposecretion of thyroid hormone causes cretinism.
2. It causes physical and mental development to be impeded.

(B) Diabetes insipidus (IV) Hyposecretion of vasopressin

Hyposecretion of the vasopressin hormone causes diabetes insipidus.

(C) Exophthalmic Goitre (II) Hypersecretion of thyroxine

1. Graves disease is another name for exophthalmic goiter.
2. It is caused by thyroid hormone hypersecretion.
3. It causes the thyroid gland to expand.

(D) Adrenal virilism (I) Hypersecretion of the adrenal cortex

1. Adrenal virilism is a disorder caused by excessive adrenal androgen production.
2. It leads to the emergence of secondary sexual traits in men.

(E) Dwarfism (III) Hyposecretion of growth hormone

1. Hyposecretion of growth hormone causes dwarfism.
2. Short stature is the outcome.
