Answer:

The correct option is a. The only endocrine gland that stores its hormone product extracellularly is <u>the thyroid.</u>

Explanation:

The thyroid gland is in the neck and is extremely fragile. The thyroid's function is to secrete thyroid hormones, these hormones have two functions: they regulate the growth and differentiation of cells and control the basal metabolic rate (rate at which the body's chemical reactions take place, temperature regulation)

The synthesis of thyroid hormones, is produced from 2 elements one contributed by the thyroid gland thyroglobulin and the other is a mineral that comes from the diet and is iodine. Both monoiodothyrosine and diiodotyrosinase concentrate in extracellular fluid and systemic circulation.

The most important thyroid hormone is thyroxine. It is synthesized in the thyroid gland from iodine, from the diet, and from the amino acid tyrosine. Its secretion is controlled by the pituitary gland through the negative feedback mechanism.

Does an island in the ocean have high or low speciation
valina [46]

low speciation because Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created. Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics and also people don't live on Islands so that there wouldn't be people to plant plants and there wouldn't be animals on island because animals won't be able to survive because they have less food

Flura [38]

Answer:

B. Absorption

Explanation:

  • Absorption is enhanced by several adaptations of the gut such as large surface area of the gut which directly facilitates absorption of nutrients.
  • Presence of villi and microvilli in the gut increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients in the ileum.
