Column II

A	Epinephrine	i	Stimulates muscle growth
B	Testosterone	ii	The decrease in blood pressure
C	Glucagon	iii	Breakdown of liver glycogen
D	Atrial natriuretic factor	iv	Increases heartbeat

• A. $A-ii, \, B-i, \, C-iii, \, D-iv$
• B. $A-iv, \, B-i, \, C-iii, \, D-ii \, $
• C. $A-i, \, B-ii, \, C-iii, \, D-iv \, $
• D. $A-i, \, B-iv, \, C-ii, \, D-iii$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$A.$ Epinephrine increases alertness, pupillary dilation, piloerection (raising of hairs), sweating, etc. The hormone increases the heartbeat, strength of heart contraction, and the rate of respiration.
$B.$ Testosterone is responsible for muscular growth, aggressiveness, development of facial and axillary hair, low pitch of voice, etc.
$C.$ Glucagon functions as $1.$ Stimulating glycogenolysis. $2.$ Stimulating the process of gluconeogenesis. $3.$ Reducing cellular glucose uptake and utilization.
$D.$ Atrial natriuretic factor - ANF is a peptide hormone secreted from the atrial wall. Whenever there is an increase in blood pressure $ \rightarrow $ release of ANF $ \rightarrow $ dilation of the blood vessels $ \rightarrow $ decreases in blood pressure.
