19.Chemical Coordination and Integration
medium
On surgical removal of pituitary gland there is fall in levels of glycocorticoids and sexcorticoids. This is due to
A
Oxytocin is no longer available from pituitary
B
Atrophy of adrenal medulla
C
Atrophy of adrenal cortex
D
$LTH$ from pituitary is no longer available
Solution
Surgical removal of pituitary gland results in non-release of $ACTH$ which stimulates adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland to release corticoids. Absence of the $ACTH$ results in atrophy of adrenal cortex.
