List – I |
List – II |
A. Heart |
I. Erythropoietin |
B. Kidney |
II. Aldosterone |
C. Gastro-intestinal tract |
III. Atrial natriuretic factor |
D. Adrenal Cortex |
IV. Secretin |
A) A–III, B–I, C–IV, D–II
B) A–II, B–I, C–III, D–IV
C) A–IV, B–III, C–II, D–I
D) A–I, B–III, C–IV, D–II
A. Heart → III. Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF):
The heart secretes ANF from the atrial walls to help regulate blood pressure by promoting sodium excretion.
B. Kidney → I. Erythropoietin:
The kidney produces erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow.
C. Gastro-intestinal tract → IV. Secretin:
The GI tract releases secretin, which regulates the pH of the small intestine by stimulating bicarbonate secretion from the pancreas.
D. Adrenal Cortex → II. Aldosterone:
The adrenal cortex secretes aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid hormone involved in regulating sodium and potassium levels in the body.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1A) A–III, B–I, C–IV, D–II
