Given below is a list of glands . Find out correct match for them .

A

Adrenal medulla- Hormone of flight & fight induces constriction in pupil and protein synthesis during emergengy

B

b-cell of pancreas- Hormone acts on muscles and induces glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.

C

Testis- Hormone induces catabolic effect of proteins

D

Thyroid follicles- Hormone induces BMR regulation, increase Na-K pump activity and binds with intranuclear receptors

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of matching the glands with their respective hormones and functions, we will analyze each gland and its associated hormone step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Adrenal Medulla**: - **Function**: The adrenal medulla is the inner part of the adrenal gland. - **Hormones**: It secretes epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). - **Effects**: These hormones are responsible for the "fight or flight" response, which includes inducing pupil constriction and promoting protein synthesis during emergencies. - **Match**: This gland is correctly matched with its function. 2. **Beta Cells of the Pancreas**: - **Function**: The beta cells are responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. - **Hormones**: They secrete insulin. - **Effects**: Insulin acts on muscle and fat tissues to promote glucose uptake and storage, not glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis (which are functions of glucagon). - **Match**: This gland is incorrectly matched. 3. **Testis**: - **Function**: The testes are responsible for male reproductive functions. - **Hormones**: They produce testosterone. - **Effects**: Testosterone has anabolic effects, promoting muscle growth and male fertility, rather than having a catabolic effect on proteins. - **Match**: This gland is incorrectly matched. 4. **Thyroid Follicles**: - **Function**: The thyroid follicles are involved in metabolism regulation. - **Hormones**: They produce thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). - **Effects**: T3 is the active hormone that regulates basal metabolic rate (BMR), increases sodium-potassium pump activity, and binds to intranuclear receptors. - **Match**: This gland is incorrectly matched. ### Conclusion: The only correct match from the given glands is the **Adrenal Medulla** with its hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are responsible for the fight or flight response. ### Final Answer: - **Correct Match**: Adrenal Medulla - Hormones (Epinephrine and Norepinephrine) - Induces pupil constriction and protein synthesis during emergencies.
