• A. A- 3, B- 1, C- 4, D- 2
• B. A- 1, B- 2, C- 3, D- 4
• C. A- 2, B- 1, C- 4, D- 3
• D. A- 4, B- 3, C- 2, D- 1

Answer 1

The correct option is C A- 2, B- 1, C- 4, D- 3

The anterior lobe of the hypophysis (pituitary gland) is called as the adenohypophysis. This lobe contains cells, that produce prolactin, growth hormone (somatotropin), thyroid-stimulating hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone.

Cells in the adrenal medulla synthesize and secrete epinephrine (also called adrenaline).

Parathormone is a hormone that is made by the parathyroid glands and is critical to maintaining calcium and phosphorus balance.

Thymosin is the hormone of the thymus, and it stimulates the development of disease-fighting T cells.
