Q. Select the answer which correctly matches the endocrine gland with the hormone it secretes and its function/deficiency symptom:
A) Anterior pituitary – Oxytocin – Stimulates uterus contraction during child birth
B) Posterior pituitary – Growth hormone (GH) – Oversecretion stimulates abnormal growth
C) Thyroid gland – Thyroxine – Lack of iodine in diet results in goitre
D) Corpus luteum – Testosterone – Stimulates spermatogenesis
Explanation
[Solution from source] The thyroid secretes thyroxine, and lack of iodine in the diet causes goitre. Oxytocin is released by the posterior pituitary and GH by the anterior pituitary, and testosterone comes from Leydig cells, not the corpus luteum. Answer (3).
