NEET 2026 · Q136
Match List I with List II:
List I
List II
P) Cortisol
I) Stimulates the formation of alveoli in mammary glands
Q) Aldosterone
II) Produces anti-inflammatory reactions
R) Cholecystokinin
III) Stimulates reabsorption of Na+ and water from renal tubule
S) Progesterone
IV) Stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (1)
P-III, Q-II, R-IV, S-I
- (2)
P-IV, Q-II, R-I, S-III
- (3)
P-II, Q-III, R-IV, S-I
- (4)
P-II, Q-III, R-I, S-IV
Answer and solution
Answer: (3)
Cortisol (a glucocorticoid) produces anti-inflammatory reactions and suppresses immune responses (II). Aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid, stimulates reabsorption of and water from the renal tubules (III). Cholecystokinin from the intestinal mucosa stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice (IV). Progesterone acts on the mammary glands to stimulate formation of alveoli (I). Thus P-II, Q-III, R-IV, S-I.

Re-NEET 2026
Re-NEET 2026 · Q99
Which of the following statements related to pituitary gland are correct?
Statement I: It is divided anatomically into adenohypophysis and neurohypophysis
Statement II: It secretes follicle stimulating hormone
Statement III: It secretes melanocyte stimulating hormone
Statement IV: It does not secrete prolactin
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :- (1)
(I) and (II) only
- (2)
(I), (II) and (III) only
- (3)
(III) and (IV) only
- (4)
(II) and (III) only
Answer and solution
Answer: (2)
The pituitary is anatomically divided into the adenohypophysis (anterior) and neurohypophysis (posterior), so (Statement I) is correct. The pars distalis of the adenohypophysis secretes FSH among other trophic hormones, making (Statement II) correct, and the pars intermedia secretes MSH, making (Statement III) correct. Statement IV is false: prolactin IS a pituitary hormone, secreted by the pars distalis to regulate mammary growth and milk production. NCERT Class 11, Chemical Coordination and Integration.

Re-NEET 2026 · Q124
Which one of the following statements is incorrect?
- (1)
-cells of pancreas secrete glucagon
- (2)
-cells of pancreas secrete insulin
- (3)
Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis
- (4)
-cells of pancreas secrete insulin
Answer and solution
Answer: (2)
The islets of Langerhans divide the labour cleanly: -cells secrete glucagon, which raises blood glucose, and -cells secrete insulin, which lowers it. Option (2) assigns insulin to the wrong cell type. Note that options (1) and (4) together give the correct pairing, so the two can be used to check each other.

Re-NEET 2026 · Q148
Match List-I with List-II.
List I
List II
P) Excess growth hormone
I) Reabsorption of water and electrolytes in kidney
Q) Luteinizing hormone
II) Contraction of uterus during child birth
R) Vasopressin
III) Acromegaly
S) Oxytocin
IV) Ovulation
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (1)
P-III, Q-IV, R-II, S-I
- (2)
P-III, Q-IV, R-I, S-II
- (3)
P-II, Q-IV, R-I, S-III
- (4)
P-IV, Q-III, R-I, S-II
Answer and solution
Answer: (2)
Excess growth hormone in adults thickens the bones of the hands, feet and face, producing acromegaly (P-III). Luteinizing hormone triggers the rupture of the Graafian follicle at ovulation (Q-IV). Vasopressin, or antidiuretic hormone (ADH), acts on the distal tubule and collecting duct to reabsorb water and electrolytes (R-I). Oxytocin drives the powerful uterine contractions of labour (S-II).

NEET 2020
NEET 2020 · Q9
Match the following columns and select the correct option.
List I
List II
P) Pituitary gland
I) Grave's disease
Q) Thyroid gland
II) Diabetes mellitus
R) Adrenal gland
III) Diabetes insipidus
S) Pancreas
IV) Addison's disease
- (1)
P-III, Q-II, R-I, S-IV
- (2)
P-III, Q-I, R-IV, S-II
- (3)
P-II, Q-I, R-IV, S-III
- (4)
P-IV, Q-III, R-I, S-II
Answer and solution
Answer: (2)
Pituitary/antidiuretic hormone (ADH) dysfunction causes diabetes insipidus, thyroid hyperactivity causes Graves' disease, adrenal hypofunction causes Addison's disease, and pancreatic insulin dysfunction causes diabetes mellitus. Thus P-III, Q-I, R-IV, S-II. Chapter: Chemical Coordination and Integration.

- (1)
Glucagon is associated with hypoglycemia.
- (2)
Insulin acts on pancreatic cells and adipocytes.
- (3)

- (4)
Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis.
Answer and solution
Answer: (4)
Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, stimulate gluconeogenesis, the process of glucose synthesis from non-carbohydrate sources. Chapter: Chemical Coordination and Integration.
