What is the function of a thyroid gland

Biology
1 answer:
eduard3 years ago
6 0

The thyroid, or thyroid, gland consists of two connected lobes and is an endocrine gland in the neck. A thin band of tissue known as the thyroid isthmus connects the lower two thirds of the lobe. The thyroid is situated under the Adam apple on the front of the arm. The spherical thyroid follicle lined with folliculate cells and, at times, parafollicular cells which surround a lumen containing a colloid is the microscopic function unit of the thyroid gland. Two hormones – triiodothyronine and thyroxine – and the peptide hormone, calcitonin – are released in the thyroid gland.  In calcium homeostasis, calcitonin plays a role. Thyroid stimulatory hormone that is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland is regulated for secretion of the two thyroid hormones. TSH is regulated by the hypothalamus-generated thyrotropin releasing hormone.

A dominant allele can be described as the allele which masks the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele can be described as the allele whose effect gets suppressed by the dominant allele. A dominant allele is written with a capital letter whereas a recessive allele is referred with a small letter.

As the option A shows capital letter, O, for the dominant orange trait and small letter, o , for the recessive black trait hence, it is the correct option.

Which age pyramid has the largest base of pre-reproductive population ?
Svet_ta [14]

By looking at all the age population pyramids, this would be my best guess. Every territory is different with various populations, however, to the best of my knowledge, it would be the expansive pyramid.

Expansive population pyramids are used to describe populations that are young and growing. They are often characterized by their typical ‘pyramid’ shape, which has a broad base and narrow top. Expansive population pyramids show a larger percentage of the population in the younger age cohorts, usually with each age cohort smaller in size than the one below it. These types of populations are typically representative of developing nations, whose populations often have high fertility rates and lower than average life expectancies.
