Practice question
Question
Match the hormones listed in Column I with their primary source tissues in Column II and the primary target tissues listed in Column III Column I Column II Column III P. Epinephrine (i) Hypothalamus a. Pituitary Q. Prolactin (ii) Thyroid b. Heart R. Calcitonin (iii) Pituitary c. Bone S. Thyrotropin releasing hormone (iv) Chromaffin tissue d. Pigeon’s crop
Explanation
Mechanistically, homeostatic regulation involves hormonal feedback and ion transport maintain balance. This validates P-(iv)-b, Q-(iii)-d, R-(ii)-c, S-(i)-a because it sustains physiological integration, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in physiology research. This mechanism is extensively documented and reinforced by experimental data across multiple model systems and textbook discussions.
