Insulin deficiency causes
- Diabetes insipidus
- Diabetes mellitus
- Goitre
- All the above
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
It causes diabetes mellitus.Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the beta cells of pancreas. There are two types of diabetes, type I and type II. In type I the cells lose their ability to produce insulin and in type II, insulin is produced but the body becomes resistant to insulin. Therefore, the level of glucose increases in the body.
So, the correct answer is (B): Diabetes mellitus

Chemical Coordination and Integration
The chemical coordination and integration of all physiological functions in the animal body are jointly synchronized by the neural and endocrine systems. The control and coordination of body functions are executed by the endocrine glands. They are ductless glands that secrete severel hormones to control and coordinate body functions.
Human Endocrine System:
The human body has several endocrine glands located in different parts. They cover the pituitary gland, thymus, thyroid gland, pineal gland, parathyroid, pancreas (dual gland), adrenal gland, and gonads (testes and ovaries). The liver, kidney, heart, and gastrointestinal tract also produce hormones in small traces to harmonize the functioning of these organs.
The Hypothalamus comprises groups of secretory cells called nuclei which secrets various hormones. These hormones released by the hypothalamus are important in regulating the synthesis and secretion of pituitary hormones.
Functions of Endocrine Glands:
- Pituitary Gland
- Pineal Gland
- Thyroid Gland
- Parathyroid Gland
- Thymus
- Adrenal Gland
- Pancreas
- Testes
- Ovary
