Match List-I (Endocrine glands) with List-II (Hormones secreted) and select the correct answer using the codes given below: List-I List-IIA. Gonads1. InsulinB. Pituitary2. ProgesteroneC. Pancreas3. Growth hormonesD. Adrenal4. CortisoneCodes:
✓ Correct answer: c) A – 2; B – 3; C – 1; D – 4
ExplanationEndocrine glands secrete hormones that regulate various bodily functions, from growth and metabolism to stress responses.A is matched with 2: The gonads (ovaries in females and testes in males) are responsible for producing sex hormones.In females the ovaries secrete progesterone which plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle and maintaining pregnancy.In males the testes primarily produce testosterone but it also produces progesterone in smaller amounts.B is matched with 3: Known as the master gland, pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH) (stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (regulates metabolism), prolactin (stimulates milk production), and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (maintains water balance).C is matched with 1: Pancreas regulates blood sugar levels through insulin (lowers blood glucose) and glucagon (raises blood glucose) and plays a major role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.D is matched with 4: The adrenal glands located on top of the kidneys produce cortisone, a glucocorticoid hormone invo
