Explanation:

Question 16

• Oxytocin is a peptide hormone (non - steroid).
• Calcitonin is a peptide hormone (non - steroid).
• Glucagon is a peptide hormone (non - steroid).
• Cortisol is a steroid hormone as it is derived from cholesterol.

• Thyroid - stimulating hormone (TSH) which stimulates the production of thyroid hormone is produced by the anterior pituitary.
• The posterior pituitary stores and releases hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin, not TSH.
• The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones (e.g., T3 and T4) but is stimulated by TSH from another gland.
• The parathyroid gland is involved in calcium regulation, not thyroid hormone production.

• In the human eye, there are three types of cone cells: short - wavelength (S, sensitive to blue), medium - wavelength (M, sensitive to green), and long - wavelength (L, sensitive to red).
• When looking at a green field, the M (medium - wavelength) cones are most stimulated by the green wavelength.

Answer:

cortisol
