hormones

Answer 3

chemical messengers that effect target cells with receptors to bind to

thyroid gland

Answer 12

maiun control of metabolic rate
produces thyroxine t4, in response to release of of tsh by anterior pituitary gland

Question 13

thyroxine

Answer 13

acts on variety of target cells to increase the rate of cellular respiration
regulated by negative feedback loop

Question 14

hypothyroidism

Answer 14

thyroid produces extremely low levels of thyroxine

Question 15

Ca2 level regulstion

Answer 15
