Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I                            List - II
A. Pituitary             I. Controls Metabolism
B. Pincal                 II. Master gland of endocrine system
C. Thyroid              III. Glands behind Thyroid
D. Parathyroid           IV. Gland makes a chemical called Melatonin

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Hint:

The pituitary gland is called the master gland because it regulates several other endocrine glands.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones regulating growth, metabolism, sleep, and other body functions.
• Pituitary gland is known as the master gland of the endocrine system.
• Pineal gland produces melatonin, which regulates sleep cycles.
• Thyroid gland controls metabolism.
• Parathyroid glands are located behind the thyroid gland.

Step 1: Match each gland with its function or description.
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Pituitary} &\rightarrow \text{Master gland of endocrine system} \text{Pincal (Pineal)} &\rightarrow \text{Produces Melatonin} \text{Thyroid} &\rightarrow \text{Controls Metabolism} \text{Parathyroid} &\rightarrow \text{Glands behind Thyroid} \end{aligned} \]

Step 2: Write the correct matching sequence.
Thus, the correct matching is: \[ A-II,\ B-IV,\ C-I,\ D-III \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(C)\ A\text{-}II,\ B\text{-}IV,\ C\text{-}I,\ D\text{-}III} \]
