adrenal medulla

which of these is a tropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland

adrenocorticotropic hormone ACTH

which of these occurs when blood glucose concentration falls below the normal range

the pancreas secretes glucagon

a hormone called plays and important role in incubating a special group of white blood cells

thymosin

the gland that produces thymosin

thymus

what role does insulin play in maintaining homestasis

when blood glucose levels are elevated after a meal insulin stimulates glucose uptake by cells to bring glucose levels back to normal

both type 1 and 2

diabetes glucose levels remain higher than normal
