• Produce gametes: sperm and oocytes.
• Produce hormones.

Answer 33

• Sets body’s biological clock.

Answer 35

PINEAL GLAND

Question 36

  circulating thyroid hormones.
• PTH (parathyroid hormone) levels rise →loss of bone
  mass.

condition in
which a hormone made by the placenta prevents the
body from using insulin effectively.

Answer 41

Question 42

diabetes arises not
from a shortage of insulin but because target cells
become less sensitive to it due to down-regulation of
insulin receptors.
