Question

Match the hormones given in Column I with their respective source organs of secretion, given in Column II.
\begin{tabular{|l|c|l|c|} \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Column I (Hormone)} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Column II (Source of secretion)}
i. & hCG & a. & Adenohypophysis of pituitary gland.
ii. & CCK & b. & Placenta.
iii. & ICSH & c. & Pars intermedia of hypophysis gland.
iv. & MSH & d. & Gastro - intestinal mucosa.

Choose the correct option from below.}

• A. i - b ii - c iii - d iv - a
• B. i - b ii - d iii - a iv - c
• C. i - b ii -a iii - d iv - c
• D. i - a ii - d iii - b iv - c

Hint:

Sources: hCG = Placenta, CCK = Gut, ICSH = Anterior pituitary, MSH = Pars intermedia.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Different hormones are secreted by specific glands or tissues in the body.

Step 1: Match each hormone.
• hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) → Secreted by placenta → (b)
• CCK (Cholecystokinin) → Secreted by gastrointestinal mucosa → (d)
• ICSH (Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone) → From anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis) → (a)
• MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone) → From pars intermedia of pituitary → (c)

Step 2: Verify combination. \[ i-b,\; ii-d,\; iii-a,\; iv-c \]

Step 3: Conclusion. \[ \text{Correct matching = Option (B)} \]
