(b)pitiuitary gland : Thyroid-stimulating hormone
(a)thyroid gland : What is a thyroid gland? The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland in your neck. It makes two hormones that are secreted into the blood: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones are necessary for all the cells in your body to work normally.
(c)Pancreas : glucagon and insulin work in tandem to control the balance of glucose in the bloodstream. Other hormones produced by the pancreas include pancreatic polypeptide and somatostatin. They are believed to play a part in regulating and fine-tuning the insulin and glucagon-producing cells.
or
The most important hormone that the pancreas produces is insulin. Insulin is released by the 'beta cells' in the islets of Langerhans in response to food. Its role is to lower glucose levels in the bloodstream and promote the storage of glucose in fat, muscle, liver and other body tissues.
