Question

"Thyroid"

• Identify the gland, its location in the body and the name of the hormone.
• Explain the name of the hormone (why is it named as it is)
• How is the hormone activated (what causes that hormone to be released. Remember hormones are helping with homeostasis so there are usually biological conditions that signal the hypothalamus or other brain neuron group to initiate a cascade of chemical release to cause a gland to release a hormone. You should explain that cascade that initiates the hormone release, starting with hypothalamus in the brain)
• What is the effect of the hormone once it is released
