The false statement is: Growth hormone is produced by the posterior pituitary

Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin is produced in the cells called somatotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. GH is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration. Its function is involved in metabolic processes (favors anabolism or synthesis of macromolecules). Also, growth hormone stimulates production of IGF-1 and increases the levels of glucose and free fatty acids.

Which three of the following statements accurately describe the blood buffering system in humans? the blood buffering system . .
Bogdan [553]
The truth about blood buffering is that 1). mantains the ph of blood near to 7.4. 2) utilizes the H2CO3/HCO3– conjugate acid/base pair and 3) is facilitated by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which interconverts carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid. Have in mind that the buffer is written as the following: <span>CO2(aq) + H2O(l) <==> H+(aq) + HCO3^-(aq) </span>
