• These hormones prepare our body to face emergency situations.

• So these are also called emergency hormone or fight , flight and fright hormone.

• It increases the heart beat rate and also increases the temperature of body.

• Thyroxine helps in the development of neural and brain tissues in embryo.

• Deficiency of thyroxine hormone causes simple goitre.
