The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Thyroxine acts on every organ except," we will analyze the options provided and understand the role of thyroxine in the body. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Thyroxine**: - Thyroxine (T4) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, growth, and development in the body. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option (a) Brain**: Thyroxine does act on the brain. It is essential for brain development and function. - **Option (b) Testis**: Thyroxine also acts on the testis, influencing male reproductive functions and development. - **Option (c) Thyroid**: The thyroid gland produces thyroxine; therefore, it does not act on itself as a target organ. - **Option (d) All the above**: This option suggests that thyroxine does not act on any of the listed organs, which is incorrect based on the analysis of the previous options. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since thyroxine does not act on the thyroid gland itself (as it is the organ producing it), the correct answer is **(c) Thyroid**. ### Final Answer: (c) Thyroid ---
