Question

State the significance of the following:

(i) Pituitary gland

(ii) Wildlife sanctuaries

Answer 1

National parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and protected spaces for nature help conserve the natural world and benefit us all in many ways. Whether a National Park is giving someone space to walk and exercise, or a wildlife sanctuary is promoting conservation, these places play an important role in society.

The pituitary gland is very important as it takes messages from the brain (via a glandcalled the hypothalamus) and uses these messages to produce hormones that affect many parts of the body, including stimulating all the other hormone-producing glands to produce their own hormones.
