Match List-I with List-II.
$\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|}\hline & \text{List-I} & & \text{List-II} \\\hline A. & \text{Epinephrine} & I. & \text{Hyperglycemia} \\\hline B. & \text{Thyroxine} & II. & \text{Smooth muscle contraction} \\\hline C. & \text{Oxytocin} & III. & \text{Basal metabolic rate} \\\hline D. & \text{Glucagon} & IV. & \text{Emergency hormone} \\\hline \end{array}$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
A-IV, B-III, C-III, D-I
A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
Solution
The correct answer is option (3) because
- Epinephrine is an emergency hormone, also known as adrenaline and is secreted from adrenal medulla.
- Thyroxine is secreted from thyroid gland and plays an important role in regulation of basal metabolic rate.
- Oxytocin is a peptide hormone synthesised by hypothalamus and released by posterior pituitary. It causes smooth muscle contraction.
- Glucagon is secreted from $\alpha$-cells of pancreas, acts mainly on hepatocytes and stimulates glycogenolysis resulting in an increased blood sugar level or hyperglycemia.
