 The secretes two major thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

The two
hormones regulate oxygen use, basal metabolic rate, cellular metabolism and direct growth and
development.
 Pepsin is one of three principal protein-degrading, or proteolytic, enzymes in the digestive
system, the other two being and . Pepsin is an enzyme whose zymogen (pepsinogen) is released
by the in the stomach and that degrades food proteins into peptides. It was discovered in 1836
by Theodor Schwann who coined its name from the Greek word pepsis, meaning digestion
(peptein: to digest). It was the first enzyme discovered.
 Sebum is a mixture of triglycerides, cholesterol, proteins and inorganic salts
 Osteocyte A type of bone cell that is the main cell in bone tissue, maintaining its daily
metabolism
 Growth, homeostasis, metabolism and development Hormones produced by the pituitary gland
and hypothalamus regulate which body function
 Oestrogens are present in both males and females but in significantly higher quantities in
females where they are the primary female sex hormone. They are produced primarily by
developing follicles in the ovaries, the corpus luteum and the placenta.
 The sequence of flow of the lymphatic system is: Lymphatic capillaries → Lymphatic vessels →
Lymph trunks → Lymphatic ducts → Venous blood.
 Oxytocin (Oxt) aids uterine smooth muscle contraction and milk ejection from mammary glands
 A natural exposure to an infectious agent leads to ACTIVE IMMUNITY
 the thyroid gland produce such as triiodothyronine T3 and thyroxine T4 from follicular cell and
calcitonin from parafollicular cell
 Saltatory conduction is much faster than nerve impulses that move along unmyelinated
membranes.
 As an aspect of the cardiovascular system, Haemostasis can be described as the sequence of
events that stops bleeding from a damage blood vessel
