Answer to Question 1

Synergism is when two hormones work in conjunction with one another to accomplish an enhanced effect. An example is T3 and T4 from the thyroid gland that both work together to increase body metabolism. Antagonism is when two hormones exert an opposite effect. An example is calcitonin from the thyroid gland and parathyroid hormone from the parathyroid gland. Calcitonin moves calcium from the blood into the bones; parathyroid hormone moves calcium from the bones into the blood.
