Mention which of the statements are true (T) and which are false (F). Give reason in support of your answer.
(a) Adrenaline is often described as the emergency hormone.
(b) There are two kinds of diabetes (mild and severe) related with two different hormones.
(c) Simple goitre can be prevented by using iodised salt in food.
(d) Pituitary is popularly called the master gland.
(e) Hormones "obey" the commands like "enough, slow down or "two little, speed up".
(f) Gigantism and dwarfism in humans basically depend on the quality and quantity of the food eaten during early growing age.

(a) True Reason- Adrenaline is described as emergency hormone because during any emergency situation more adrenaline is secreted which makes the heart beat faster, increases the breathing, releases more glucose into the blood stream to fulfill the energy requirement.
(b) False Reason- The two different kinds of diabetes are diabetes insipidus caused due to insufficient secretion of vasopressin and the other is 'diabetes mellitus' caused due to hyposecretion of insulin but they cannot be described as mild and severe.
(c) True Reason-Iodine is an active ingredient in the production of the thyroxine hormone.
(d) True Reason- Pituitary gland controls the functioning of all the other endocrine glands.
(e) True Reason- Hormones are poured directly into blood the blood stream and control physiological processes by chemical means. Their action depends on the feedback mechanism.
(f) True Reason- Gigantism and dwarfism are controlled by the growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Growth hormone is much more active in children for their normal body growth along with which necessary substance required for the synthesis of growth hormone need to be consumed.
