The correct Answer is:
To determine which hormone is correctly matched with its source and function, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Hormones and Their Sources**: - **Vasopressin (ADH)**: This hormone is produced in the hypothalamus and stored and released from the posterior pituitary gland (neurohypophysis). - **Oxytocin**: Similar to vasopressin, oxytocin is also produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland. 2. **Check the Functions of the Hormones**: - **Vasopressin (ADH)**: Its primary function is to regulate water balance in the body by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys. - **Oxytocin**: This hormone is involved in childbirth and lactation, stimulating uterine contractions and milk ejection. 3. **Analyze the Third Option - Thymosine**: - **Thymosine**: This hormone is produced in the thymus gland. - **Function of Thymosine**: It is responsible for the differentiation of T-lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) and plays a role in the immune response. 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - The first option (Vasopressin) is incorrectly matched because it states that it comes from the anterior pituitary, which is incorrect. - The second option (Oxytocin) is also incorrectly matched for the same reason as vasopressin. - The third option (Thymosine) is correctly matched with its source (thymus gland) and its function (differentiation of T-lymphocytes). 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is the third option, which matches thymosine with its source (thymus gland) and its function (differentiation of T-lymphocytes). ### Final Answer: The hormone that is correctly matched with its source and function is **Thymosine** from the **Thymus gland**, responsible for the differentiation of T-lymphocytes. ---
