Question

Study the following about endocrine disorder

Hormones	Hyposecretion	Hypersecretion
(I) Insulin	Diabetes mellitus	Unconsciousness and shock
(II) Thyroxine	Simple Goitre	Myxoedema
(III) Parathormone	Tetany	Osteoporosis
(IV) Cortisol	Cushing's syndrome	Addison's diseases

• A. Only I,III and IV
• B. Only I,II and II
• C. Only I and III
• D. All are true

Answer 1

The correct option is C Only I and III

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body. Diabetes is a condition caused by little or no secretion of insulin hormone. If too much insulin is present in the body,a person can go into shock, a condition called insulin shock. Parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands and is the most important regulator of blood calcium levels. Tetany is a condition marked by intermittent muscular spasms, caused by malfunction of the parathyroid glands and a consequent deficiency of calcium. Osteoporosis is a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D. It is a type of hyperthyroidism, meaning hypersecretion of parathormone(parathyroid) hormone.

So the correct option is 'Only I and III'
