Which of the following is not a function of the hypothalamus

Which of the following is not a function of the hypothalamus? Produces antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin Stimulates production and release of hormones from the anterior pituitary Stimulates production and release of hormones from the posterior pituitary Inhibits the production and release of hormones from the anterior pituitary Which of the following endocrine organs are part of the diencephalon? Hypothalamus Pineal gland Thymus Both a and b are correct. Both b and c are correct. Which of the following sets of hormones are antagonists? T3 and T4 Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone Epinephrine and cortisol Growth hormone and thyroxine Matching: Match the following endocrine organs with the hormone(s) each Pineal gland Parathyroid hormone Thyroid gland Insulin and glucagon Pancreas Steroid hormones Thymus Epinephrine and norepinephrine Thymus Thyroxine, triiodothyronine, Parathyroid glands Thyroid-stimulating hormone Adrenal cortex Melatonin Anterior pituitary Thymosin and thymopoietin Adrenal medulla

Solution

Answer:

(3) c

Hypothalamus produces vasopressin and oxytocin while posterior pituitary secretes these hormones.

(4) d

Hypothalamus and Pineal gland are parts of the diencephalon.

(5) b

Calcitonin and PTH act opposite to each other

(6) Pineal gland- (G) melatonin

Thyroid gland- (E) thyroxine, triiodothyronine

Pancreas - (B) insulin and glucagon

Thymus - (H) thymosine and thymopoietin

Parathyroid glands- (A) parathyroid hormone

Adrenal cortex- (D) epinephrine, non epinephrine

Anterior pituitary- (F) thyroid stimulating hormone

Adrenal medulla - (C) steroid hormones
