The diagram shows Hypothalamus – Pituitary – Thyroid axis. Based on the diagram, what will be true?
I. Under normal physiological conditions, a decrease in the levels of thyroid hormones in the blood will lead to an increase in the secretion of TRH by Hypothalamus.
II. Under normal physiological conditions, a decrease in the levels of thyroid hormones in the blood will lead to a decrease in the secretion of TSH by Anterior pituitary.

The given figure shows a person suffering from an endocrine abnormality with characteristic changes in the physical appearance like prominent chin and jaw and large hands. There may also be an enlargement of the forehead and nose. This disorder is caused due to:

1. An excess secretion of cortisol and adrenal androgens
2. An excess secretion of growth hormone in adulthood
3. An excess secretion of growth hormone in childhood
4. An excess secretion of thyroid hormones in adulthood

What will be true for the effects of parathyroid glands on the tissues shown in the given diagram?
I: In bone, PTH enhances the release of calcium from the large reservoir contained in the bones.
II: In the kidney, PTH stimulates reabsorption of calcium but inhibits the reabsorption of phosphate \((HPO^{2-}_4)\) from the tubular fluid.
III: It activates vitamin D, which in turn enables intestinal epithelium to absorb calcium.

The given figure shows the mechanism of action of FSH on its target cells.
I: FSH is hydrophilic and hence cannot enter the cell and therefore acts via a second messenger.
II: The second messenger will cause physiological responses after binding to a receptor present in the nucleus of the cells and then influencing the level of gene expression in the target cell.

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
