Answer:

(I) <em>pancreas</em> - it secretes insulin

it's function is to regulate the sugar levels in blood

if it does not function properly it causes diabetes (sugar)

(ii)<em>pituitary</em>- it secrets growth hormone

it's function is to regulate the growth in human body

if it produces lots of hormone then the body will increase a lot in size known as gigantism

if it produces very less hormone then the body will not increase in size and will be very short known as dwarfism

its function is to maintain metabolism growth

lack of iodine makes this gland swell up known as goitre.

because of its malfunction the body does not get enough hormones.

What describes skeletal muscles​
Mashutka [201]

"Skeletal muscle, also called voluntary muscle, in vertebrates, most common of the three types of muscle in the body. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Similar to cardiac muscle, however, skeletal muscle is striated; its long, thin, multinucleated fibres are crossed with a regular pattern of fine red and white lines, giving the muscle a distinctive appearance. Skeletal muscle fibres are bound together by connective tissue and communicate with nerves and blood vessels."

Britannica, The Editors of Encyclopaedia. "Skeletal muscle". Encyclopedia Britannica, 5 Jan. 2018, https://www.britannica.com/science/skeletal-muscle. Accessed 24 May 2021.
