Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incomplete table of hormones, their source glands, and their effects on the body, we will identify the correct options for the blanks A, B, and C step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identifying A (Oestrogen)**: - The hormone Oestrogen is primarily associated with the female reproductive system. - It is secreted by the **ovaries** and also by the **corpus luteum** after ovulation. - Therefore, for blank A, the correct gland is **Ovary** (or Corpus Luteum). 2. **Identifying B (Raises blood sugar level)**: - The alpha cells of the Islets of Langerhans are located in the **pancreas**. - These alpha cells secrete **glucagon**, which is responsible for raising blood sugar levels. - Thus, for blank B, the correct secretion is **Glucagon**. 3. **Identifying C (Over secretion leads to gigantism)**: - The anterior pituitary gland secretes several hormones, one of which is the **growth hormone** (also known as somatotropin). - Over secretion of growth hormone during childhood can lead to a condition known as gigantism. - Therefore, for blank C, the correct secretion is **Growth Hormone**. ### Final Answers: - A: Ovary - B: Glucagon - C: Growth Hormone
