Match the following.
| Column I | Column II | ||
| A | Epinephrine | i | Stimulates muscle growth |
| B | Testosterone | ii | The decrease in blood pressure |
| C | Glucagon | iii | Breakdown of liver glycogen |
| D | Atrial natriuretic factor | iv | Increases heartbeat |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Epinephrine increases the alertness, pupillary dilation, piloerection (raising of hairs), sweating, etc. The hormone increases the heartbeat, strength of heart contraction and the rate of respiration.
Testosterone is responsible for muscular growth, aggressiveness, development of facial and axillary hair, low pitch of voice, etc.
Glucagon functions asStimulating glycogenolysis.Stimulating the process of gluconeogenesis.Reducing cellular glucose uptake and utilization.
Atrial natriuretic factor - ANF is a peptide hormone secreted from the atrial wall. Whenever there is an increase in blood pressurerelease of ANFdilation of the blood vesselsdecreases in blood pressure.
