Question

Study the following and pick up the correct combinations:

Gland                                     Hormone                                        Disorder
I. Pancreas                               Insulin                                          Diabetes insipidus
II. Thyroid                                gland                                           Thyroxine Tetanus
III. Adrenal                              glands                                          Cortisol Cushing’s syndrome
IV. Pituitary                             gland                                            Somatotropin Dwarfism

• A. I, II
• B. II, III
• C. III, IV
• D. II, IV

Hint:

Cushing’s syndrome is related to overproduction of cortisol, and dwarfism is related to a deficiency in growth hormone (somatotropin).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- I is incorrect because diabetes insipidus is caused by a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), not insulin.
- II is incorrect because Tetanus is not caused by thyroid hormone, but by a bacterial infection (Clostridium tetani).
- III is correct because cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands, and Cushing’s syndrome is caused by excess cortisol.
- IV is correct because somatotropin (growth hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland, and dwarfism is caused by a deficiency of growth hormone.
