Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. $I$. Neurohypophysis secretes Vasopressin (or $ADH$). Its deficiency leads to Diabetes insipidus, which is characterized by the excretion of dilute urine due to reduced water reabsorption in the renal tubules. This is a correct match.$2$. $II$. Adrenal cortex secretes corticosteroids. Its hyposecretion leads to Addison's disease, a condition of chronic adrenal insufficiency. This is a correct match.$3$. $III$. Parathyroid glands secrete Parathormone. Its deficiency leads to Tetany (characterized by low blood calcium levels causing muscle spasms), not Myxoedema. Myxoedema is caused by hypothyroidism. This is an incorrect match.$4$. $IV$. Thyroid gland secretes Calcitonin. Its deficiency does not cause Acromegaly. Acromegaly is caused by the hypersecretion of Growth Hormone $(GH)$ in adults. This is an incorrect match.Therefore, the correctly matched pairs are $I$ and $II$.
