Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

The pancreas produces insulin, which regulates blood glucose levels. The hypothalamus secretes a variety of hormones known as releasing factors, which causes the pituitary and other glands to release their hormones. The pituitary gland produces growth hormone, which promotes growth in the body. It produces oxytocin, which is involved in regulating contractions during childbirth and the release of milk during nursing. It also releases hormones that regulate the functioning of other glands. The pineal gland releases melatonin, which regulates sleep-wake cycles. The adrenal glands produce cortical steroids, promoting muscle development and stimulating the liver to release stored sugar when we experience stress. The adrenal gland also
releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, which help the body to prepare with stressful situations. The gonads produce estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, which serve
a variety of purposes, such as promoting the development of secondary sex characteristics and regulating the menstrual cycle. Testosterone, in particular, also seems to influence aggressive behavior in humans and sexual responsiveness. The thyroid gland produces hormones that help regulate metabolism.
