Answer 1

1. **a. calcitonin:** Parafollicular cells (also known as C cells) of the thyroid produce calcitonin, which lowers blood calcium levels.2. **h. T₄/T₃:** Follicular cells of the thyroid produce thyroid hormones thyroxine (T₄) and triiodothyronine (T₃), which regulate metabolism.3. **e. insulin:** Beta cells of the pancreatic islets (islets of Langerhans) produce insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels.4. **c. glucagon:** Alpha cells of the pancreatic islets produce glucagon, which raises blood glucose levels.5. **i. TSH, ACTH,
