Q. Which of the following is not paired correctly?

A) Myxoedema - Swollen facial tissues
B) Cretinism - Mentally retarded
C) Grave’s disease - Exopthalamos
D) Insulin - Raise blood glucose
Explanation

Insulin is secreted by β-cells of pancreas. It decreases the level of glucose in the blood. It works by increasing rate at which glucose is transported out of the blood into cells. It stimulates muscle cells to take up sugar from the blood and convert it into glycogen. Insulin secretion is reduced, when blood sugar level falls.
