Question

Two factors that regulate (control) glandular secretion.

Answer 1

Answer:

The factors include age and puberty

Explanation:

Glandular secretion release chemicals such as hormones in response to the body’s metabolic needs.

As an individual ages , the metabolic rate of the body also reduces . This is due to the stress and ageing of the cells of the body. This explains why glandular secretion is optimal with young people and Lower in older people. It also explains why the immune system of a young person is mostly stronger than older people.

Puberty is another factor which affects glandular secretion as during puberty there is usually a high amount of hormonal changes due to high levels of secretions of some hormones. These hormones could however inhibit the other glandular secretions.
