Match the source gland with respective hormone as well as the function correctly.

1. Anterior pituitary - Oxytocin - Contraction of uterus muscles during childbirth
2. Posterior pituitary - Vasopressin - Stimulates reabsorption of water in the distal tubules in the nephron
3. Corpus luteum - Estrogen - Supports pregnancy
4. Thyroid - Thyroxine - Regulates blood calcium level

Correct answer: Posterior pituitary - Vasopressin - Stimulates reabsorption of water in the distal tubules in the nephron

Solution

Vasopressin (ADH) is released from the posterior pituitary and increases water reabsorption in the kidney tubules, helping conserve body water. The other options mismatch either the gland, the hormone, or the function.
