Consider the following regarding the actions of steroidal hormones produced by human ovary:
| I: | Estrogen is responsible for the development and maintenance of secondary sexual characters in females |
| II: | Progesterone is a pregnancy hormone |
| III: | Estrogen regulates female sexual behavior |
| IV: | Progesterone stimulates the formation of alveoli in mammary glands |
Select correct statements from above statements
| 1. | I, II and III | 2. | I, II and IV |
| 3. | II, III and IV | 4. | I, II, III and IV |
The hormones of ‘flight or fight’ response:
1. are secreted by the zona glomerulosa of adrenal cortex
2. are commonly called as catecholamines
3. are released slowly over a period of time when required
4. do not act via a second messenger system
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. Conn’s disease: Hyperaldosteronism
2. Addison’s disease: Hypoadrenalism
3. Osteitis, fibrosa, cystica: Hypoprathyroidism
4. Hashimoto’s disease: Hypothyroidism
All the following are common second messengers involved in hormonal actions except:
1. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate
2. Inositol phosphate
3. Prostaglandins
4. Calcium
All the following statements regarding parathyroid hormone are correct except:
| 1. | It is a peptide hormone |
| 2. | It is regulated by a tropin secreted by anterior pituitary |
| 3. | It stimulates the process of bone resorption or demineralization |
| 4. | It stimulates calcium absorption from the digested food |
Which anterior pituitary hormone is predominantly under inhibitory control?
1. LH
2. Growth hormone
3. Prolactin
4. Thyrotropin
Hormones which interact with intracellular receptors:
1. generate second messengers
2. depolarize the membrane of the target cells
3. stop the enzymatic actions of membrane proteins

1. Graves’ disease
2. Addison’s disease
3. Conn’s syndrome
4. Diabetes mellitus
