Question 1

FUNCTION (3) OF THYROID GLAND AND POSITION

Answer 1

• SECRETES THYROXINE ( IODENE IS ESSENTIAL)
• REGULATES HOW MUCH ENERGY IS RELEASED ( MATABOLISM)
• PROMOTES NORMAL FUNCTION OF HEART AND NERVOUS SYSTEM
• POSITIONED IN NECK

Question 2

FUNCTIONS (2) AND POSITIONING OF HYPOTHALUMUS GLAND

Answer 2

• SECRETES ANTI DURETIC HORMONE
  REGULATES WATER INTAKE
• ADH IS STORED IN COLLECTING DUCTS AND IS RELEASED WHEN DEHYDRATED INTO BLOOD STREAM
• POSITIONED IN HEAD ABOVE PITUATORY GLAND

Question 3

PATUATORY GLAND FUNCTIONS AND POSITIONING (5)

Answer 3

• SECRETES TSH( STIMULATES SECRETION OF THYROXINE),
• FSH(STIMULATES OOGENISIS AND SPERMOTAGENISIS),

-LH( STIMULATES OVULATION ) ,
GROWTH HORMONE,

• PROLACTINE ( MILK PRODUCTION ), ACTH AND ICSH
• MASTER GLAND
• POSITIONED BELOW PITUATORY GLAND IN HEAD

Question 4

THE PANCREAS GLAND FUNCTIONS AND POSITIONING

Answer 4

• SECRETES INSULINE AND GLYCOGEN
• ALPHA CELLS SECRETE GLYCOGEN ( IF THERE ISNT ENOUGH SUGER) AND ARE ON THE OUTER LAYER
• BETA CELLS SECRETE INSULINE AND ARE IN THE CENTRE
• ISLE OF LANGAHAN

Question 5

ADRENAL GLAND FUNCTIONS

Answer 5

• SECRETES STEROID HORMONES
  1. ALDASTERONE (REGULATES REABSORPTION OF SODIUM THROUGH OSMOREGULATION)
  2. CORTISOL (REGULATES STRESS AND INFECTION)
• SECRETES ADRENILINE

Question 6

BLOOD SUGER REGULATION STEPS FOR HIGH (2) AND LOW BLOOD SUGER (2)

Answer 6

1. HIGH BLOOD SUGER
   - INSULINE SCRETED FROM BETA CELLS
   - FAT CELLS ABSORD GLUCOS
2. LOW BLOOD SUGER
   - GLYCOGENE SECRETED FROM ALPHA CELLS
   - LIVER LIVER RELEASE THE GLYCOGEN INTO BLOOD
   -
