Q. Match the source gland with its respective hormone as well as the function
A) Thyroid – Thyroxine – Regulates blood calcium level
B) Anterior pituitary – Oxytocin – Contraction of uterus muscles during child birth
C) Posterior pituitary – Vasopressin – Stimulates resorption of water in the distal tubules in the nephron
D) Corpus luteum – Estrogen – Supports pregnancy
Explanation
[Solution from source] Vasopressin (ADH) is released from the posterior pituitary and acts on the distal tubule and collecting duct to increase water reabsorption. Calcium is regulated by thyrocalcitonin and parathyroid hormone, oxytocin is released from the posterior pituitary, and the corpus luteum supports pregnancy mainly through progesterone. Answer (3).
