Study the given figure showing various human endocrine glands. Select the correct statement(s) regarding these.

(i) Gland P is stimulated to secrete its hormones by thyrotropin secreted by anterior lobe of pituitary gland.

(ii) Gland R is associated with the secretion of hormones corticosteroids, epinephrine and norepinephrine.

(iii) Glands T and U represent the sex glands, which are derived from the mesoderm of embryo.

(iv) Gland Q is derived from mesoderm of the embryo and its increased size results in ageing.

(v) Gland S secretes the hormone glucagon which stimulates the liver to convert glucose into glycogen.

1. (i) and (ii)                 

2. (ii) and (iv)

3. (i), (ii) and (iii)           

4. All are correct

4. Diplopia

Which of the following is a prolactin-inhibiting hormone secreted in the hypothalamus ?
1. Serotonin 
2. Dopamine
3. Epinerphrine
4. Histamine 

All hypophysiototropic hormones are peptides except
1. corticotropin releasing hormone
2. growth hormone

4. prolactin release inhibiting hormone.

Sella Turcica is found 
1. in bones
2. in joints
3. nearby pituitary
4. nearby thyroid

The source of somatostatin is same as that of
1. thyroxine and calcitonin
2. insulin and glucagon
3. somatotropin and prolactin 
4. vasopressin and oxytocin.

Which one of the following four glands is correctly matched with the accompanying description?
1. Thyroid - hyperactivity in young children causes cretinism
2. Thymus - starts undergoing atrophy after puberty
3. Parathyroid - secrets parathormone which promotes movement of calcium ions from blood into bones during calcification
4. Pancreas - Delta cells of the Islets of Langerhans secrete a hormone which stimulates glycolysis in liver

Which of the following match is correct
     Hormone                       Effect
1. Oxytocin                    Milk ejection hormone
2.Glucagon                    Decreases blood sugar level
3. Adrenaline                  Decreases heart rate
4. Thyroxine                  Decreases BMR
