A) Why do adolescents get acne? Name the gland responsible for it. B)State the functions of Insulin and Adrenaline (One each)
Answers
Answer:
A) Acne is caused by overactive oil glands in the skin and a build-up of oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, which leads to inflammation in pores. Oil glands become stimulated when hormones become active during puberty, which is why people are likely to get acne in their teens
B)
The function of:
Insulin: Insulin is an anabolic hormone which is used for promoting the uptake of glucose, glycogenesis, lipogenesis, and protein synthesis that takes place in the skeletal muscle and fat tissue. This takes place with the help of tyrosine kinase receptor pathway. It is also one of the important factor in the regulation of plasma glucose homeostasis.
Adrenaline: This hormone is secreted by the adrenal glands in the centre of medulla. The main function of adrenaline is to produce contraction of spleen so as to store the blood, increase heart beat and sweating, reducing the blood clotting period, and pupilary dilation.
