Core Logic
Matching each hormone with its physiological function:
- (A) Cortisol arrow$\rightarrow$ Produces anti-inflammatory reactions (II)
- (B) Aldosterone arrow$\rightarrow$ Stimulates reabsorption of Na^+$Na^+$ and water from renal tubule (III)
- (C) Cholecystokinin arrow$\rightarrow$ Stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile juice (IV)
- (D) Progesterone arrow$\rightarrow$ Stimulates the formation of alveoli in mammary glands (I)
Step 1: Result
The correct combination is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.
Pattern Recognition
Sees: "Cortisol Aldosterone Cholecystokinin Progesterone".
Shortcut: Cortisol = Anti-inflammatory (A-II); Progesterone = Mammary alveoli (D-I).
