  3. Liver.
  4. Kidney.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 3. Liver.

Explanation:
The liver, the largest gland of the body surrounded by the abdominal cavity, is the only organs from the above-mentioned options that does
not consist of a central ‘medullary’ region, surrounded by a cortical region. Rest three options, i.e., ovary, adrenal and kidney bear a
prominent ‘medullary and cortical region’.

  3. A series of synapses.
  4. An internal transport system.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 4. An internal transport system.

Q16. Which of the following glands grows to the maximum size at puberty and then diminishes gradually?

  1. Thymus
  2. Thyroid
  3. Pituitary
  4. Adrenal

Ans: 1. Thymus

Q17. Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) is produced by:

  1. Anterior pituitary.
  2. Posterior pituitary.
  3. Pars intermedia of pituitary.
  4. Parathyroid.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 3. Pars intermedia of pituitary.

Q18. Cortisol is secreted by:

  1. Pancrease.
  2. Thyroid.
  3. Adrenal.
  4. Thymus.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 3. Adrenal.

Explanation:
Adrenal or suprarenal glands are paired structures located on the top of the kidneys. The cells of zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex
secretes mainly glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids include three main hormones: cortisol (= hydrocortisone), corticosterone, and
cortisone. They effect carbohydrate metabolism, however, they also affect the metabolism of proteins and fats.

Q19. Which hormone inhibits the release of growth hormone?

  1. Insulin
  2. Gonadotrophin
  3. Somatostatin
  4. Thymosin
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 3. Somatostatin

Explanation:
Hypothalamus produces two kinds of hormones: releasing hormone and inhibiting hormones.
GnRH is releasing hormone which stimulates pituitary synthesis.
Somatostatin inhibits the release of GH from the pituitary.

Ans: 3. Melatonin.

Explanation:
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland. Immediately above the optic chiasma (in the brain) in a nucleus, is present
melatonin receptors that react to this hormone and synchronize the nucleus to the 24-hour day/ night rhythm, thus informing the brain
when it is day and when it is night.
