Answer to Problem 1DYKB

Correct answer:

Programmed cell death/destruction of aging cells is not a general process controlled by the endocrine system. Therefore, option d. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Option d.  is given as “Programmed cell death/destruction of aged cells”. The endocrine system controls and regulates the growth, development, and metabolism of reproductive activities and maintains the level of blood composition in the body. Programmed cell death or destruction of the aging cell is not its function.

Hence, option d. is correct.

Reasons for incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “development, growth, and metabolism”

Endocrine system stimulates the secretion of thyroid hormones that are responsible for growth, development of some tissues and organs and also involved in the metabolism of the body. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as “control of reproductive activities”. Endocrine glands control reproduction by stimulating the secretion of testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen that controls the growth and development of male and female reproductive parts.

Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as “maintenance of homeostasis of blood composition”.

Endocrine controls the homeostasis of blood composition by stimulating parathyroid hormones, insulin, glycogen. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.

Conclusion

Endocrine glands are made up of epithelial tissues, which cause the release and production of hormones.
