Explanation / Answer
1) Gland which produces most hormones : Pituitary gland
2) Senses which depends on chemical receptors : Taste and smell
3) Function of thyroxine : It has numerous functions. Thyroxine( T4) is converted into the more active form triiodothyronine (T3) in the liver. The most important function is definitely the regulation of metabolism i.e. the energy requirement of the body.
4) Hormones needed for production: The following hormones are required for reproduction:
a) Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone
b) Follicle Stimulating Hormone
c) Luteinizing Hormone
d) Oxytocin
e) Prolactin
f) Estrogen
g) Progesterone
h) Testosterone
5) Receptors for hearing and balance are in the : Inner Ear ( Hair cells in the Organ of Corti and Semicircular Canals respectively)
6) Photoreceptors of eye are located in : The Retina
7) Sclera is continuous with the : Cornea
8) Nearsightedness is due to : Elongation or excessive curvature of the eyeball
9) Epinephrine is produced by the : Medulla of the Adrenal Glands
10) Sodium levels on blood are regulated by : Aldosterone
11) Order in which light passes through the eye :
Cornea--Aqueous humor--Pupil(opening in the iris)--Lens--Vitreous humor--Retina
12) Insulin results in which cells : Insulin is produced by the Beta Cells of pancreas
13) Hyposecretion of thyroid during childhood causes : Cretinism
14) Ossicles are located in : Middle ear
15) Regions of the Adrenal gland : Adrenal cortex which consists of Zona Glomerulosa, Zona Fascicularis and Zona Reticulate and Adrenal Medulla
16) Pathway of sound waves through the ear :
Outer ear---External auditory canal--Tympanic membrane--Ear ossicles in middle ear(Malleus--Incus--Stapes)--Cochlea--Hair cells
17) Outermost layer of the eyeball : Sclera
18) If a person becomes dehydrated and develops hangover from drinking too much beer, the alcohol in the beer is most likely interfering with the function of : Anti Diuretic Hormone ( This results is excessive urination and thus dehydration)
19) Hunger pains or hunger pangs are caused by : Ghrelin hormone ( also other factors like the environment, calorie intake, anxiety and lack of sleep)
