The table show different endocrine glands with their hormones, target organs and brief functions. Identify the mismatched row.
Correct answer: D. D
- A. A
- B. B
- C. C
- D. D
Explanation
Row D is mismatched.Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), released from posterior pituitary regulates water balance by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys and constricting blood vessels to regulate blood pressure. It's produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland in response to changes in blood osmolarity or volume. Imbalances in vasopressin can lead to conditions like SIADH or diabetes insipidus.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
