Difficulty: EasyHuman Physiology, Health, and Diseases

Match the human endocrine glands listed in List-I with their primary hormones listed in List-II:

  • PancreasInsulin
  • Thyroid GlandThyroxine
  • Adrenal MedullaAdrenaline
  • Pineal GlandMelatonin

Answer

Pancreas corresponds to Insulin, Thyroid Gland corresponds to Thyroxine, Adrenal Medulla corresponds to Adrenaline, and Pineal Gland corresponds to Melatonin.
Each endocrine gland matches directly with its characteristic primary hormone secretion: the pancreas produces insulin, the thyroid gland produces thyroxine, the adrenal medulla produces adrenaline, and the pineal gland produces melatonin.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Match the Pancreas with its hormone.
Pancreas secretes Insulin.
Insulin is synthesized by pancreatic beta cells to lower blood glucose.
2
Match the Thyroid Gland with its hormone.
Thyroid Gland secretes Thyroxine.
Thyroxine regulates general cellular metabolism and energy production.
3
Match the Adrenal Medulla with its hormone.
Adrenal Medulla secretes Adrenaline.
Adrenaline increases heart rate and blood flow during stressful acute conditions.
4
Match the Pineal Gland with its hormone.
Pineal Gland secretes Melatonin.
Melatonin secretion is modulated by light exposure to maintain diurnal rhythm.
