The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of finding the correct match between hormones, their respective glands, and functions, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Thyroxine**: - **Gland**: Thyroid gland - **Function**: Decreases basal metabolic rate - **Analysis**: - The gland is correct (thyroid gland). - However, the function is incorrect. Thyroxine actually increases the basal metabolic rate. - **Conclusion**: Incorrect match. 2. **Glucagon**: - **Gland**: Beta cells of pancreas - **Function**: Stimulates glycogenolysis resulting in increased blood sugar - **Analysis**: - The gland is incorrect. Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells of the pancreas, not beta cells (which secrete insulin). - The function is correct (stimulates glycogenolysis). - **Conclusion**: Incorrect match. 3. **Calcitonin**: - **Gland**: Thyroid gland - **Function**: Decreases blood calcium level - **Analysis**: - The gland is correct (calcitonin is secreted by the thyroid gland). - The function is also correct (it decreases blood calcium levels). - **Conclusion**: Correct match. 4. **Glucocorticoids**: - **Gland**: Adrenal medulla - **Function**: Stimulates gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis - **Analysis**: - The gland is incorrect. Glucocorticoids are secreted by the adrenal cortex, not the adrenal medulla. - The function is correct (they stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and proteolysis). - **Conclusion**: Incorrect match. ### Final Answer: The correct match is **Calcitonin - Thyroid gland - Decreases blood calcium level**. ---
