NEET 2023, Biology Q82: Endocrine Glands and Hormones

NEET2023Biology
Q.

Which of the following are NOT under the control of thyroid hormone?

A. Maintenance of water and electrolyte balance

B. Regulation of basal metabolic rate

C. Normal rhythm of sleep-wake cycle

D. Development of immune system

E. Support the process of RBCs formation

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A

    A and D only

  2. B

    B and C only

  3. C

    C and D only

  4. D

    D and E only

Solution

Thyroid hormones regulate BMR (B), water and electrolyte balance (A), and support erythropoiesis (E). They do not govern the sleep-wake cycle (that's mainly the pineal/melatonin axis) or development of the immune system. Hence C and D are NOT under thyroid control.
