Select the correct statement about hormones and their actions

Options

  1. AParathyroid hormone increases K+\mathrm{K}^{+} absorption of the body.
  2. BInsulin and glucagon helps to maintain blood sugar levels.
  3. COld aged people have weak immunity due to increased activity of thymus.
  4. DOsteoporosis in women occurs due to increased levels of oestrogens.

Correct answer

B. Insulin and glucagon helps to maintain blood sugar levels.

Step-by-step solution

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates the reabsorption of Ca2+\mathrm{Ca}^{2+} by renal tubules and increases Ca2+\mathrm{Ca}^{2+} absorption from digested food. It means PTH increases the blood Ca2+\mathrm{Ca}^{2+} level. Old aged persons have weak immunity because thymus is degenerated in old individuals resulting in a decreased production of thymosin. Oestoporosis in women occurs due to decreased level of estrogen.
