19.Chemical Coordination and Integration
medium
If $‘X’$ is a hormone which controls the carbohydrate metabolism in the body and $‘Y’$ is a hormone which controls the secretion of $‘X’$, then $'X’$ and $‘Y’$ are
A
Insulin and somatotrophin
B
Aldosterone and growth hormone
C
Glucocorticoid and $ACTH$ respectively
D
Glucocorticoid and $GHRH$
Solution
Carbohydrate metabolism is regulated by glucocorticoid released by adrenal cortex of adrenal gland and secretion of glucocorticoid is stimulated by $ACTH$.
Somatotrophin regulates the release of $GH$.
Aldosterone regulates the water and electrolyte balance in the body.
$GHRH$ secreted by hypothalamus stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.
