Identify the glands responsible for producing specific hormones and describe similarities between hormones and nerves.

2.

a) The part that produces the hormone glucagon is the Pancreas.

b) The part that produces a hormone that controls the growth of long bones is the Pituitary gland.

c) The part that produces an iodine-containing hormone is the Thyroid gland.

d) The part that produces a hormone that is involved in the re-absorption of some salts by the kidneys is the Adrenal gland.

3.
Two similarities between hormones and nerves with regard to their functions are:

• Both systems transmit chemical signals to target cells or organs.
• Both systems are involved in regulating body functions and maintaining homeostasis.

5.1
The type of interaction that occurs between hormone A and gland B is Hormonal stimulation (or endocrine control).

5.2

a) Gland B is the Thyroid gland.

b) Hormone A is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH).

c) Hormone C is Thyroxine (or thyroid hormones, T3/T4).
