Question

Match the following hormones with their corresponding disorders:

Hormone	Disorder
A) Thyroxine	I. Addison's disease
B) Vasopressin	II. Diabetes mellitus
C) Glucocorticoids	III. Acromegaly
D) Somatotropin	IV. Myxedema
	V. Diabetes insipidus

• A. A - IV, B - II, C - I, D - III
• B. A - V, B - II, C - IV, D - I
• C. A - III, B - I, C - V, D - IV
• D. A - IV, B - V, C - I, D - III

Hint:

Remember key hormone disorders: Thyroxine → Myxedema; Vasopressin → Diabetes insipidus; Glucocorticoids → Addison's disease; Somatotropin → Acromegaly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's match each hormone to its related disorder:

- Thyroxine: Deficiency leads to Myxedema (IV), a condition caused by hypothyroidism.
- Vasopressin: Its deficiency or malfunction causes Diabetes insipidus (V), characterized by excessive thirst and urination.
- Glucocorticoids: Excess or deficiency relates to Addison's disease (I), an adrenal insufficiency disorder.
- Somatotropin (Growth hormone): Excess leads to Acromegaly (III), characterized by abnormal growth of bones and tissues.

Thus, the correct matching is:
A - IV, B - V, C - I, D - III
