Every question format NEET uses — match-the-column, assertion-reason, statement-based, and image/diagram questions — not just plain MCQs. Each with an instant NCERT-referenced solution.
- Q1. Consider the following statements based on the given diagram of hormone action: 1. Steroid hormones cross the plasma membrane due to their lipophilic nature. 2. The receptor–hormone complex directly interacts with the genome inside the nucleus. 3. The primary effect of this mechanism is alteration in protein synthesis. 4. Physiological effects such as tissue growth and differentiation occur only after gene expression changes. 5. Peptide hormones also act through this same nuclear receptor pathway.

- Q2. Based on the diagram, which structure is responsible for storing oxytocin and vasopressin?

- Q3. Arrange the following in the correct sequence of regulation for Adrenaline secretion, and match each with its respective function/hormone. Column I (Organ/Step) A. Hypothalamus B. Sympathetic nerves C. Adrenal medulla D. Target tissues (heart, muscles, liver, etc.) Column II (Hormone/Action) 1. Adrenaline (epinephrine) release 2. Stress signal transmission via sympathetic nerves 3. Increased heart rate, respiration, glycogenolysis (Fight-or-Flight) 4. Stress perceived and processed
- Q4. Arrange the following in the correct sequence of hormone regulation for LH and FSH secretion, and match each with its respective hormone. Column I (Organ/Step) A. Hypothalamus B. Portal circulation C. Anterior Pituitary (Pars distalis) D. Gonads (Testis/Ovary) Column II (Hormone) 1. GnRH 2. LH & FSH 3. Androgens / Estrogens & Progesterone 4. Transport medium (no hormone secreted, but carries GnRH)
- Q5. Assertion (A): Hormones can act on organs located far from their site of secretion. Reason (R): Hormones are transported through blood.
- Q6. Assertion (A): Liver and kidney are considered part of the endocrine system. Reason (R): They produce hormones despite not being classical endocrine glands.
- Q7. Arrange the following in the correct sequence: 1. HR complex interacts with genome 2. Hormone diffuses into target cell (intracellular access) 3. Gene-expression changes → biochemical/physiological effects 4. Binding to intracellular receptor to form HR complex
- Q8. Evaluate the following statements : 1. Thymus is a lobular structure located behind sternum, between the lungs. 2. It secretes peptide hormones called thymosins. 3. Thymosins stimulate differentiation of B-lymphocytes. 4. Thymosins promote production of antibodies, supporting humoral immunity. 5. Thymus degenerates with age, reducing immune responses in older people.
- Q9. Consider the following statements on endocrine disorders and regulation: 1. Exophthalmic goitre is a manifestation of hyperthyroidism. 2. Addison’s disease results from overproduction of adrenal cortical hormones. 3. Diabetes mellitus is due to deficiency or resistance to insulin. 4. ANF secreted from the atrial wall lowers blood pressure. 5. Erythropoietin secreted by kidney stimulates RBC production.
- Q10. Arrange the following in the correct sequence: 1. Regulation of target-cell metabolism 2. Hormone binds membrane receptor 3. Formation of hormone–receptor complex 4. Activation of second messengers (cAMP/IP₃/Ca²⁺)

Select the correct statement. (A) Insulin acts on pancreatic cells and adipocytes (B) Insulin is associated with hyperglycemia (C) Glucocorticoids stimulates gluconeogenesis (D) Glucagon is associated with hypoglycemia.
- A. Insulin acts on pancreatic cells and adipocytes.
- B. Insulin is associated with hyperglycemia
- C. Glucocorticoids stimulates gluconeogenesis
- D. Glucagon is associated with hypoglycemia.
Explanation: Answer: (c) Glucocorticoids stimulates gluconeogenesis Solution: Glucocorticoids (mainly cortisol) from the adrenal cortex stimulate gluconeogenesis, so this statement is correct. Insulin acts on hepatocytes and adipocytes (not pancreatic cells) and is a hypoglycemic hormone, while glucagon is a hyperglycemic hormone — making options (a), (b) and (d) wrong. NCERT Reference: Chapter 19, Page 245, Line(s) 14 — "Glucocorticoids stimulate gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis;"
Which of the following statements is not correct? (A) The functional insulin has A and B chains linked together by hydrogen bonds (B) Genetically engineered insulin is produced in E-Coli (C) In man insulin is synthesised as a proinsulin (D) The proinsulin has an extra peptide called C-peptide.
- A. The functional insulin has A and B chains linked together by hydrogen bonds
- B. Genetically engineered insulin is produced in E-Coli
- C. In man insulin is synthesised as a proinsulin
- D. The proinsulin has an extra peptide called C-peptide
Explanation: Answer: (a) The functional insulin has A and B chains linked together by hydrogen bonds Solution: This statement is NOT correct: in functional insulin the A and B chains are joined by covalent disulphide bridges, not hydrogen bonds. The other statements are true — in man insulin is synthesised as a single-chain proinsulin bearing an extra C-peptide that is removed during maturation, and genetically engineered (recombinant) human insulin is produced in E. coli. NCERT Reference: Chapter 19, Page 245, Line(s) 42-44 — "Insulin is a peptide hormone, which plays a major role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis. Insulin acts mainly on hepatocytes and adipocytes"
Which hormones do stimulate the production of pancreatic juice and bicarbonate?
- A. Angiotensin and epinephrine
- B. Cholecystokinin and gastrin
- C. Cholecystokinin and secretin
- D. Insulin and glucagon
Explanation: Answer: (c) Cholecystokinin and secretin Solution: Secretin acts on the exocrine pancreas and stimulates secretion of water and bicarbonate ions, while CCK acts on the pancreas and gall bladder to stimulate secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice. Together they drive pancreatic juice and bicarbonate output. Gastrin acts on gastric glands (HCl/pepsinogen), not pancreas. NCERT Reference: Chapter 19, Page 247, Line(s) 25-28 — "Secretin acts on the exocrine pancreas and stimulates secretion of water and bicarbonate ions. CCK acts on both pancreas and gall bladder and stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice"
Graves' disease is caused due to
- A. Hyposecretion of thyroid gland
- B. Hypersecretion of thyroid gland
- C. Hyposecretion of adrenal gland
- D. Hypersecretion of adrenal gland
Explanation: Answer: (b) Hypersecretion of thyroid gland Solution: Graves' disease (exophthalmic goitre) is a form of hyperthyroidism, i.e. it results from hypersecretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. It is marked by enlargement of the thyroid, protrusion of the eyeballs, raised basal metabolic rate and weight loss. NCERT Reference: Chapter 19, Page 243, Line(s) 10–12 — "Exopthalmic goitre is a form of hyperthyroidism, characterised by enlargement of the thyroid gland, protrusion of the eyeballs, increased basal metabolic rate, and weight loss, also called Graves’ disease.
