AIIMS 2017 Biology Endocrine Glands and Hormones MCQ Question
Which one of the following pairs is the matching pair of the part and the hormone it secretes?
Anterior pituitary – Thyroxine
Alpha cells of pancreas – Glucagon
Thyroid – Epinephrine
Stomach epithelium - Secretin
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option C is incorrect because the thyroid gland secretes thyroxine (T₄), not epinephrine. The correct matching pair for the thyroid would be thyroxine. Option A is incorrect as the anterior pituitary secretes hormones like growth hormone (GH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), not thyroxine. Option D is also incorrect; while the stomach epithelium does secrete hormones, it primarily produces gastrin, not secretin, which is secreted by the duodenum. Option B is correct because the alpha cells of the pancreas do indeed secrete glucagon, a hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
