Ludmilka [50]

A product of the anterior pituitary gland that causes color changes in it's target cells is melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) .

Hence the correct answer is option D .

<h3>What is the pituitary gland ? </h3>

Pituitary is known as the master gland of our body, because it controls and coordinates the development and functions of other endocrine glands. It is found in the base of the brain in a bony cavity called 'sella tursica' and is attached to the hypothalamus.

It has two parts - anterior pituitary ( also known as adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary ( neurohypophysis).

<h3>What is anterior pituitary?</h3>

The anterior pituitary has two parts para distalis and pars intermedia. Of this , FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH etc., is released by pars distalis, and the only hormone from pars intermedia is the MSH .

FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles for next menstrual cycle.
LH - Luteinizing Hormone - Induces ovulation of fully mature follicles and maintains corpus luteum.
TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Stimulates secretions of Thyroid gland.
MSH - Melanocyte stimulating hormone - acts on melanocytes ( cells with melanin, a pigment ) and regulates the pigmentation of the skin.

Hence from the above points ,we can conclude that MSH causes color changes in it's target cells.

So correct answer is option D .

Soil & bedrock are similar because and but

slamgirl [31]

Soil scientists use the capital letters O, A, B, C, and E to identify the master soil horizons, and lowercase letters for distinctions of these horizons. Most soils have three major horizons: the surface horizon (A), the subsoil (B), and the substratum (C). Some soils have an organic horizon (O) on the surface, but such a horizon can also be buried. The master horizon, E, is used for subsurface horizons that have a significant loss of minerals (eluviation). Hard bedrock, which is not soil, uses the letter R.
