Explanation / Answer

42) Pineal gland secretes a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin hormone helps to regulate your sleep and wakefulness cycle.

Therefore, option B (melatonin) is correct.

43) Adrenal medulla secretes two hormones called adrenaline and noradrenaline. These are collectively known as catecholamines. They are secreted during emergency situations, under stress. Hence, they are called emergency hormones or hormones of fight or flight.

Therefore, option A (adrenal medulla) is correct.

44) The posterior pituitary gland does not produce any hormones of its own, but can store the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin.

Therefore, option C (posterior pituitary gland) is correct.

45) In positive feedback mechanism, the result enhances the original stimulus.

Release of oxytocin during labor further increases the uterine contractions.

Therefore, positive feedback results in the uterine muscles of a pregnant woman from the release of oxytocin.

Therefore, option B (positive feedback) is correct.

46) Hormone replacement therapy during menopause is an example for medicinal use of hormones.

Hormone therapy for people who are transgender is an example for medicinal use of hormones.

Taking insulin to regulate blood glucose level is also an example for medicinal use of hormones.

Therefore, option D (all of these) is correct.

47) Antidiuretic hormone acts on the distal convoluted tubules of nephrons in the kidney.

Follicle stimulating hormone acts on gonadal organs in males and females.

Thymosin hormone helps in differentiation of T lymphocytes that provide cell mediated immunity.

Human growth hormone stimulates cell division in epiphyseal plates of bones. It accelerates protein synthesis that promotes body growth and help in decreasing catabolism of proteins.

Therefore, human growth hormone can act on entire body instead of just one specific area.

Therefore, option D (human growth hormone) is correct.

48) The term androgenic refers to increased male sex characteristics.

Therefore, option C is correct.
