The correct Answer is:
To determine which hormone does not match 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:** - We have four hormones to analyze: glucocorticoids, vasopressin, parathyroid hormone, and melatonin. 2. **Analyze the first option:** - **Hormone:** Glucocorticoids - **Source:** Adrenal cortex - **Function:** Produces anti-inflammatory reactions - **Evaluation:** This is a correct match. Glucocorticoids are indeed secreted from the adrenal cortex and have anti-inflammatory properties. 3. **Analyze the second option:** - **Hormone:** Vasopressin - **Source:** Posterior pituitary - **Function:** Stimulates resorption of water and electrolytes - **Evaluation:** This is also a correct match. Vasopressin (or ADH) is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary, where it regulates water balance. 4. **Analyze the third option:** - **Hormone:** Parathyroid hormone - **Source:** Thyroid gland - **Function:** Decreases blood calcium level - **Evaluation:** This is a wrong match. Parathyroid hormone is actually secreted by the parathyroid glands, not the thyroid gland, and it increases blood calcium levels, not decreases them. 5. **Analyze the fourth option:** - **Hormone:** Melatonin - **Source:** Pineal gland - **Function:** Maintains the sleep-wake cycle - **Evaluation:** This is a correct match. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland and plays a key role in regulating sleep patterns. 6. **Conclusion:** - The hormone that does not match with its source and function is the **parathyroid hormone** (option C), as it is secreted by the parathyroid gland and increases blood calcium levels, not the thyroid gland and does not decrease blood calcium levels. ### Final Answer: The hormone that does not match with its source and function is **Parathyroid hormone (option C)**. ---
