Erythropoietin, hormone which stimulates R.B.C. formation, is produced by:
1. | The cells of bone marrow |
2. | Juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney |
3. | Alpha cells of the pancreas |
4. | The cells of the rostral adenohypophysis |
Hormones stored and released from neurohypophysis are:
1. Thyroid-stimulating hormone and Oxytocin
2. Oxytocin and Vasopressin
3. Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone
4. Prolactin and Vasopressin

Normal sleep-wake cycle in a human body is maintained by the secretion of:
1. Thyroid gland
2. Thymus gland
3. Pineal gland
4. Pituitary gland
An intestinal hormone that stimulates the pancreas to release a watery secretion that is rich in bicarbonate ions:
1. Cholecystokinin
2. Gastric Inhibitory Peptide
3. Enterokinin
4. Secretin
Assertion (A): | FSH which interacts with membrane bound receptors does not enter the target cell. |
Reason (R): | Binding of FSH to its receptors generates second messenger (cyclic AMP) for its biochemical and physiological responses. |
