growth hormone
promotes the release of IGF (insulin-like growth factors)
secretion results in a decreased muscle mass (size)
stimulates the release of GHRH
is released by the hypothalamus

the release of thyroid hormone
leads to a decrease in oxygen levels
leads to a decrease in the breathing rate
leads to a decrease in heart rate
leads to an increase in glycogenesis

only uses lipid soluble hormones
can use both water soluble hormones and lipid soluble hormones

Answer 1

1. A. Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the hypothalamus, this hormone plays an important role during delivery as it increases the muscle contraction of the uterus thereby delivering the baby, In some cases it is also given intravenously in order to induce labour.

2. C. Thyroid hormone are the hormone secreted from the thyroid gland located at the neck, They play an important role in order to regulate the metabolism in the body. Thyroid hormone helps the organ such as testes to function and regulates its development.

3. B. Glycogenesis is the process of converting and forming glycogen into simple sugar, it is required in our body as it provides the energy, one of the main function of glycogenesis is that it helps to regulate and maintain normal blood sugar level in the body and prevents them from dropping which is also called as hypoglycemia.

4. A. Endocrine glands are the gland which belongs to the endocrine system, they are responsible for secreting hormones for the cells and to provide communication within the tissues and the organs. It is associated with all of the given options , however Endocrine gland have shown no function in an enzymes.
