Adrenal Medulla 3. Thyroid Gland 4. Corpus Luteum List II (Hormone) 1. Growth Hormone 2. Epinephrine 3. Calcitonin 4. Progesterone
A. 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4✓ Correct Answer
B. 1-2, 2-1, 3-4, 4-3
C. 1-1, 2-3, 3-2, 4-4
D. 1-4, 2-2, 3-1, 4-3
💡 Solution & Explanation
The anterior pituitary gland secretes growth hormone which regulates somatic growth and metabolism. The adrenal medulla synthesizes and releases epinephrine and norepinephrine during fight-or-flight stress responses. The thyroid gland produces calcitonin, which regulates blood calcium levels alongside parathyroid hormone. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone to maintain the uterine lining during pregnancy after ovulation.
