Identify the hormone with its correct matching of source and function.
Oxytocin - posterior pituitary, growth and maintenance of mammary glands.
Melatonin - pineal gland, regulates the normal rhythm of sleepwake cycle.
Progesterone - corpus-luteum, stimulation of growth and activities of female secondary sex organs.
Atrial natriuretic factor-ventricular wall increases the blood pressure.
Solution
Oxytocin is produced by the posterior pituitary that helps in the process of parturition. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland and regulates the normal rhythm of sleep-wake cycle. Progesterone is the hormone secreted by the corpus-luteum that aids in maintenance of pregnancy. Atrial natriuretic factor is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the heart atria in response to atrial stretch and decreases the blood pressure.
