Given below is an incomplete table about certain hormones, their source glands and one major effect of each on the body in humans. Identify the correct option for the three blanks A, B and C
Glands | Secretion | Effect |
A | Estrogen | Maintenance of secondary sexual characters |
Alpha cells of Islets of Langerhans | B | Raises blood sugar level |
Anterior pituitary | C | Over secretion leads to gigantism |
A | B | C | |
1. | Placenta | Glucagon | Calcitonin |
2. | Ovary | Glucagon | GH |
3. | Placenta | Insulin | Vasopressin |
4. | Ovary | Insulin | Calcitonin |
Estrogen is secreted by ovary. Estrogens influence secondary sexual characters.
Alpha cells of islets of Langerhans secrete glucagon that raises blood glucose levels.
Anterior pituitary secretes growth hormone. Over secretion of growth hormone leads to gigantism.
