Match the Column I with Column II
| Column I (Name of hormone) | Column II (Role) |
|---|---|
| (A) ACTH | (I) Reabsorption of water by DCT and CT. |
| (B) FSH | (II) Stimulates synthesis of cortisol and aldosterone. |
| (C) ICSH | (III) development of seminiferous tubules |
| (D) ADH | (IV) Stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone. |
Choose the correct option
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) stimulates the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. Thus, A matches with II.
FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) in males stimulates the development of seminiferous tubules and helps in spermatogenesis. Thus, B matches with III.
ICSH (Interstitial cell-stimulating hormone), which is the same as LH in males, stimulates the Leydig cells (interstitial cells) to secrete androgens like testosterone. Thus, C matches with IV.
ADH (Antidiuretic hormone) acts on the kidneys and stimulates the reabsorption of water by the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting duct (CT). Thus, D matches with I.
The correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.
Answer: A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
