The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct match between a hormone, its source gland, and the disorder caused by its over secretion, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Question The question asks for a correct match between a hormone, its source gland, and the disorder that results from the over secretion of that hormone. We need to identify the correct pairings. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option 1. **Oxytocin**: - **Source Gland**: Pars intermedia (middle pituitary) - **Disorder**: Not specified but we need to check if it causes any disorder due to over secretion. - **Analysis**: Oxytocin is actually synthesized in the hypothalamus and secreted from the posterior pituitary (pars nervosa), not the pars intermedia. Therefore, this is an incorrect match. 2. **Thyroxine**: - **Source Gland**: Thyroid gland - **Disorder**: Graves' disease - **Analysis**: This is a correct match. Over secretion of thyroxine leads to Graves' disease, which is characterized by symptoms such as thyroid enlargement, increased heart rate, and weight loss. 3. **TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)**: - **Source Gland**: Anterior pituitary (pars distalis) - **Disorder**: Given as Gullies disease - **Analysis**: While TSH is correctly sourced from the anterior pituitary, it does not cause Gullies disease due to hyper secretion. This is an incorrect match. 4. **Calcitonin**: - **Source Gland**: Thyroid gland - **Disorder**: Cretinism - **Analysis**: Calcitonin is indeed secreted from the thyroid gland, but cretinism is caused by the hyposecretion of thyroxine, not calcitonin. Therefore, this is also an incorrect match. ### Step 3: Conclusion After analyzing all options, the only correct match is: - **Thyroxine** from the **Thyroid gland** causing **Graves' disease** due to over secretion. Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
