Statement I:- An injury to the anterior pituitary affects the growth of a person.
Statement II:- Injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect secretion of cortisol.
Choose the correct option
Statement I is correct but II is incorrect

Statement I is correct as an injury to the anterior pituitary affects the growth because somatotropin or growth hormone is the major hormone secreted from this region. It is the most important stimulant of proper normal growth of body.
Statement II is incorrect and can be corrected as an injury to adrenal cortex is not likely to affect secretion of adrenaline and noradrenaline. It is because, that these hormones are secreted by adrenal medulla of adrenal gland.
