Answer 1

Functions	Hormones	Glands
Growth of thyroid and secretion of thyroxine	TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone)	Pituitary
Helps in relaxing pubic ligaments to facilitate the easy birth of young ones.	Relaxin	Ovaries
Stimulate intestinal glands to secrete intestinal juice	Cholecystokinin	Gastrointestinal tract
Controls calcium level in the blood	Calcitonin, Parathormone	Thyroid, parathyroid respectively
Controls tubular absorption of water in kidneys	ADH/ Vasopressin	Hypothalamus
Urinary elimination of water	Antidiuretic hormone	Hypothalamus
Sodium and potassium ion metabolism	Aldosterone (mineralocorticoid)	Adrenal cortex
Basal Metabolic rate	Thyroxine	Thyroid
Uterine contraction	Oxytocin	Hypothalamus
Heartbeat and blood pressure	Adrenaline, nor adrenaline	Adrenal medulla
Secretion of growth hormone	Somatotropin	Pituitary
Maturation of Graafian follicle	LH (Luteinizing hormone)	Pituitary
