Question

prolactin (1) b (1) prepares the body for emergencies. c pancreas (islets of langerhans) insulin (1) ................... (1) d: (1) testosterone (1) e: (1) (1) regulates the metabolic rate. 15 ctivity 3

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each part based on endocrine system knowledge:

Part B

• The function "Prepares the body for emergencies" is done by the adrenal gland (specifically adrenaline from adrenal medulla). The hormone here is likely Adrenaline (Epinephrine). The gland (B) is the Adrenal Gland.

Part C

• "Pancreas (Islets of Langerhans)" secretes Insulin, which Regulates blood glucose levels (lowers blood sugar by promoting glucose uptake/storage).

Part D

• "Testosterone" is secreted by the Testes (male gonads). Testosterone functions include Regulating male secondary sexual characteristics (e.g., sperm production, body hair, deep voice).

Part E

• The function "Regulates the metabolic rate" is done by Thyroxine (from the Thyroid Gland). Thyroxine controls how fast the body uses energy.

Filling the Table (Key Entries):

Component	Hormone	Function
C: Pancreas	Insulin	Regulates blood glucose levels
D: Testes	Testosterone	Regulates male secondary sex traits
E: Thyroid Gland	Thyroxine	Regulates the metabolic rate

If you need specific blanks filled (e.g., gland names, hormone functions), here’s the breakdown:

• B (Gland): Adrenal Gland; Hormone for B: Adrenaline; Function of B’s hormone: Prepares body for emergencies.
• C (Gland): Pancreas (Islets of Langerhans); Hormone: Insulin; Function of Insulin: Regulates blood glucose (lowers it).
• D (Gland): Testes; Hormone: Testosterone; Function of Testosterone: Regulates male secondary sexual characteristics (or “regulates male reproductive/developmental traits”).
• E (Gland): Thyroid Gland; Hormone: Thyroxine; Function of Thyroxine: Regulates metabolic rate.

(Note: The table’s structure suggests each “(1)” is a blank for gland, hormone, or function—fill based on the above!)
