Match List-I with List-II.List I List II A. Heart I. Erythropoietin B. Kidney II. Aldosterone C. Gastro-intestinal tract III. Atrial natriuretic factor D. Adrenal Cortex IV. Secretin
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Heart | I. Erythropoietin |
| B. Kidney | II. Aldosterone |
| C. Gastro-intestinal tract | III. Atrial natriuretic factor |
| D. Adrenal Cortex | IV. Secretin |
Answer: (B) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. Answer: (b) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II Solution: The atrial wall of the heart secretes atrial natriuretic factor (Heart–III); the JG cells of the kidney produce erythropoietin (Kidney–I); the gastro-intestinal tract secretes secretin among its peptide hormones (GIT–IV); the adrenal cortex secretes aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid (Adrenal Cortex–II).

- B.A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II✓
- C.A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
- D.A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
Correct Answer
(B) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (b) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II Solution: The atrial wall of the heart secretes atrial natriuretic factor (Heart–III); the JG cells of the kidney produce erythropoietin (Kidney–I); the gastro-intestinal tract secretes secretin among its peptide hormones (GIT–IV); the adrenal cortex secretes aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid (Adrenal Cortex–II). This gives A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. NCERT Reference: Chapter 19, Page 250, Line(s) 37-39 — "produces atrial natriuretic factor ... Kidney produces erythropoietin ... The gastrointestinal tract secretes gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin"
