Given below are statements regarding hormones secreted by tissues...
Given below are statements regarding hormones secreted by tissues other than major endocrine glands:
A. Secretin acts on the exocrine pancreas and stimulates secretion of water and bicarbonate ions.
B. Cholecystokinin acts on the gastric glands and stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid.
C. Gastric inhibitory peptide inhibits gastric secretion and motility.
D. Atrial natriuretic factor is secreted by the atrial wall of the heart and decreases blood pressure.
E. Erythropoietin is a steroid hormone produced by the kidney which inhibits red blood cell formation.
Choose the correct statements from the options given below:
A. Secretin acts on the exocrine pancreas and stimulates secretion of water and bicarbonate ions.
B. Cholecystokinin acts on the gastric glands and stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid.
C. Gastric inhibitory peptide inhibits gastric secretion and motility.
D. Atrial natriuretic factor is secreted by the atrial wall of the heart and decreases blood pressure.
E. Erythropoietin is a steroid hormone produced by the kidney which inhibits red blood cell formation.
Choose the correct statements from the options given below:
Options
- AA, C and D only
- BB, D and E only
- CA, B and C only
- DC, D and E only
Correct answer
A. A, C and D only
Step-by-step solution
Statement A is correct. Secretin acts on the exocrine pancreas and stimulates the secretion of water and bicarbonate ions.
Statement B is incorrect. Cholecystokinin (CCK) acts on both the pancreas and gall bladder, stimulating the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice, respectively. Gastrin acts on the gastric glands and stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
Statement C is correct. Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) inhibits gastric secretion and motility.
Statement D is correct. Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is secreted by the atrial wall of the heart. It causes dilation of blood vessels and thereby decreases blood pressure.
Statement E is incorrect. Erythropoietin is a peptide hormone (not a steroid hormone) produced by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney, and it stimulates (not inhibits) the formation of red blood cells (erythropoiesis).
Therefore, the correct statements are A, C, and D.
Answer: A, C and D only
Statement B is incorrect. Cholecystokinin (CCK) acts on both the pancreas and gall bladder, stimulating the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice, respectively. Gastrin acts on the gastric glands and stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen.
Statement C is correct. Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) inhibits gastric secretion and motility.
Statement D is correct. Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is secreted by the atrial wall of the heart. It causes dilation of blood vessels and thereby decreases blood pressure.
Statement E is incorrect. Erythropoietin is a peptide hormone (not a steroid hormone) produced by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney, and it stimulates (not inhibits) the formation of red blood cells (erythropoiesis).
Therefore, the correct statements are A, C, and D.
Answer: A, C and D only
