Which of the following is NOT true of aldosterone?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Aldosterone increases blood pressure by targeting kidney tubules for sodium/water reabsorption (less urine) and potassium excretion mineralocorticoid action. Decreasing blood pressure contradicts raises it via volume. Mineralocorticoid status and urine reduction are true. Pressure increase distinguishes aldosterone, critical for RAAS, unlike erroneous decrease.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Aldosterone (adrenal) regulates sodium/potassium, not fuel (glucose/fat) electrolyte focus. Insulin lowers glucose, glucagon raises it, cortisol mobilizes fuel (gluconeogenesis, lipolysis) all metabolic. Aldosterone's non-metabolic role distinguishes it, key to fluid balance, unlike glucose/fat-regulating hormones.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Pancreatic exocrine cells (acinar) produce digestive juices (e.g., amylase, lipase) via ducts aid digestion. Adrenaline (adrenal medulla) is endocrine, stress-related. Insulin (pancreatic β-cells) is endocrine, glucose-lowering, not exocrine. Cortisol (adrenal cortex) is steroid, not pancreatic. Digestive juices distinguish exocrine pancreas, key to nutrient breakdown, unlike endocrine stress, glucose, or steroid outputs.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary stimulates spermatogenesis in testes and follicular growth in ovaries not prolactin (milk), GH (growth), or LH (ovulation/testosterone). This dual reproductive role distinguishes FSH, essential for gametogenesis, a frequent NEET focus contrasting with other pituitary functions.
