ANSWERS✅✅Medulla
The outer part of the adrenal cortex produces ___________ hormones. - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅Corticoid.

Where is the thyroid gland located? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The thyroid gland is
located over the top part of the trachea.
What is the name of the hormone it produces? What is the function of this hormone? -
CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅The thyroid produces a hormone called thyroxine that regulates
the metabolism of the body.
How does this hormone affect children? - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Thyroxine influences
protein production and affects the growth rate of children.
If too much of the hormone is present, what is the condition which results? - CORRECT
ANSWERS✅✅If too much thyroxine is present the result is a condition called
hyperthyroidism, which increases the metabolic rate. A rise in the metabolic rate increases
heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature.
