Oxytocin - Hypophysis

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$. $ACTH$ (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. Catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) are secreted by the adrenal medulla of the adrenal gland. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland. Oxytocin is synthesized by the hypothalamus and stored/released by the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis),not the hypophysis (which generally refers to the entire pituitary gland). Therefore,the pairing of Oxytocin with 'hypophysis' is imprecise compared to the specific anatomical source,making it the incorrect pair in this context.

$I$. Neurohypophysis	Vasopressin	Diabetes insipidus
$II$. Adrenal Cortex	Corticosteroids	Addison's disease
$III$. Parathyroid glands	Parathormone	Myxoedema
$IV$. Thyroid gland	Calcitonin	Acromegaly

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(1)$ Oxytocin	$(p)$ Stimulates the secretion of thyroid hormone
$(2)$ Vasopressin	$(q)$ Act on the smooth muscles
$(3)$ $FSH$ and androgens	$(r)$ Stimulates resorption of water
$(4)$ $TSH$	$(s)$ Regulate spermatogenesis
