    If the pituitary gland of an adult rat is surgically removed, which of the following  endocrine glands will be less affected?

    A)  Adrenal cortex   

    B)  Adrenal medulla

    C)  Thyroid         

    D)  Gonads

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The anterior lobe of pituitary gland secretes thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which controls the structure and functioning of   thyroid and adreno cortico tropic hormone (ACTH) which controls the structure and functioning of adrenal cortex. Besides, it secretes FSH, LH, ICSH, etc., which affect the structure and functioning of gonads. So, if the pituitary gland of an adult rat is surgically removed, out of the four options adrenal medulla will be less affected.
