Match the hormone in the List I with function in the List-II and choose the correct option.
| List-I (Hormone) | List-II (Function) |
| Vasopressin | Stimulation of uterine contraction |
| ACTH | Testosterone production |
| Oxytocin | Antidiuresis |
| Prolactin | Stimulation of milk production |
| ICSH | Adrenal cortex stimulation |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
The given hormones are stored and released from the pituitary gland, among which vasopressin and oxytocin are released from the posterior pituitary and rest of them are released from the anterior pituitary. Vasopressin is also known as anti-diuretic hormones as it reduces water loss through urine. ACTH, adrenocorticotropic hormone, which stimulates the secretion of the steroid hormones from the adrenal cortex. Oxytocin stimulates the smooth muscles in the body the uterus being one of them during childbirth. The growth of the mammary gland and milk secretion in them is regulated by the hormone prolactin. ICSH or the interstitial cells are responsible for testosterone production in males.
