Match List-I with List-II. array |l|l|l|l| & List-I & & List-II \\ A. & Epinephrine & I. & Hyperglycemia \\ B. & Thyroxine & II. & Smooth muscle contraction \\ C. & Oxytocin & III. & Basal metabolic rate \\ D. & Glucagon & IV. & Emergency hormone \\ array Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
C. A-IV, B-III, C-III, D-I
The correct answer is option (3) because - Epinephrine is an emergency hormone, also known as adrenaline and is secreted from adrenal medulla. - Thyroxine is secreted from thyroid gland and plays an important role in regulation of basal metabolic rate. - Oxytocin is a peptide hormone synthesised by hypothalamus and released by posterior pituitary. It causes smooth muscle contraction. - Glucagon is secreted from -cells of pancreas, acts mainly on hepatocytes and stimulates glycogenolysis resulting in an increased blood sugar level or hyperglycemia.
