Given below is an incomplete table on hormones, their source glands and one major effect of each on human body. Identify the option representing correct grouping of hormone, its gland and effect. array|l|l|l| Gland & Secretion & Effect on body \ A & Estrogen & Maintenance of \ & & secondary sexual \ & & characters \ Alpha cells of Islets & B & Raises blood sugar \ of Langerhans & & level \ Anterior pituitary & C & Over secretion leads \ & & to gigantism \ array

  1. array|l|l|l| A & B & C \ Ovary & Glucagon & Growth hormone \ array
  2. array|l|l|l| A & B & C \ Placenta & Insulin & Vasopressin \ array
  3. array|l|l|l| A & B & C \ Ovary & Insulin & Calcitonin \ array
  4. array|l|l|l| A & B & C \ Placenta & Glucagon & Calcitonin \ array

Answer

(1) array|l|l|l| A & B & C \ Ovary & Glucagon & Growth hormone \ array

Solution

A: As per NCERT, estrogens are secreted by the growing ovarian follicles of the ovary and regulate the development of female secondary sex characters. ⇒ A = Ovary.

B: The α-cells of the Islets of Langerhans secrete glucagon, a hyperglycemic hormone that raises blood sugar level. ⇒ B = Glucagon.

C: Over-secretion of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary stimulates abnormal growth of the body leading to gigantism. ⇒ C = Growth hormone.

∴ A – Ovary, B – Glucagon, C – Growth hormone.

Answer: (1)
