Match the source gland with its respective hormone as well as the function:

  1. A
    Thyroid — Thyroxine — Regulates blood calcium level
  2. B
    Anterior pituitary — Oxytocin — Contraction of uterus muscles
  3. C
    Posterior pituitary — Vasopressin — Stimulates resorption of water in distal tubules
  4. D
    Corpus luteum — Estrogen — Supports pregnancy
