Identify correct statements with respect to Thyroxine:
1. It regulates the basal metabolic rate of the body.
2. It promotes growth of the body.
3. It regulates reproductive cycles in females.
4. It decreases action of neurotransmittors- adrenaline or noradrenaline.
5. It enhances protein synthesis in growing individuals.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Thyroxine plays an important role in the regulation of the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of the body.
It promotes the physical and mental growth of the body and supports the process of red blood cell formation.
It plays an important role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle in females.
It enhances the action of neurotransmitters like adrenaline and noradrenaline by upregulating their receptors, rather than decreasing their action. Thus, statement 4 is incorrect.
It promotes protein synthesis and tissue growth in growing individuals.
Therefore, statements 1, 2, 3, and 5 are correct.
Answer: Statement 1,2,3 and 5 are correct
