To determine: The names of different thyroid hormones.
Introduction: Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid glands present in the front side of the trachea. The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland, and the secretions are released in the blood to reach the target cells. Iodine is a crucial mineral which is used by the thyroid gland as a precursor to produce thyroid hormones.
To determine: The name of the thyroid hormone that has the highest activity.
Introduction: Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid glands present in the front side of the trachea. The three different types of hormones produced by the thyroid gland are triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and calcitonin.
To determine: The region where thyroid hormone that has the highest activity is mostly produced.
Introduction: Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid. The three different types of hormones produced by the thyroid gland are triiodothyronine(T3), thyroxine(T4), and calcitonin. The highest concentration of thyroid hormone produced is T4 almost 80 % of the T4 is produced by the thyroid gland but the highest activity is shown by T3 hormone.

Hormones occur in which major different chemical categories? List two characteristics for each category and explain their generalized working.arrow_forward
- Relative Concentration in the Blood - Insulin ****** III Glucagon , Glucose Glucose baseline Insulin baseline Glucagon baseline Meal Eaten Time 1. Using the graph in Model 1: 3. Compare blood glucose to the hormone levels shown in the graph in Model 1: A) As blood glucose levels increase above baseline, the level of which hormone also increases? B) As blood glucose levels begin to drop below baseline, the concentration of which hormone increases? C) As blood glucose returns to its baseline level, what happens to the levels of insulin and glucagon in the blood?arrow_forward(human physiology) 1) Match the insulin types (1-3) with the plots (A-C)? Explain? 2) Oral administration (e.g. in the form of pills) of insulin and subcutaneous administration, which is more effective?
