hypothalamus and adrenal glands.

2. It prevents the brain from mechanical shocks.

3. Pituitary gland

4. The brain and spinal cord constitute the central nervous system.
5. PNS contains the cranial nerves arising from the brain and spinal nerves arising from
the spinal cord.

Case Study 3
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) stimulates thyroid gland to produce thyroxine. Study
the table given below:
Table: TSH levels during pregnancy

It is important to monitor TSH levels during pregnancy. High TSH levels and
hypothyroidism can especially affect chances of miscarriage. Therefore, proper
medication in consultation with a doctor is required to regulate/control
the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. (CBSE 2020)

Q4. Why do TSH levels in pregnant women need to be monitored?

Q5. A pregnant woman has TSH level of 8.95 mU/L. What care is needed for her?

Answers
1. The full form of TSH is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone.

2. The thyroid gland is present in the neck region.

3. TSH regulates the production of thyroid hormone, i.e.. thyroxine by the thyroid gland.

4. It is because high and low TSH level may increase the chances of miscarriage.
5. A proper medication in consultation with a doctor is required to bring the TSH level
down.
Case Study 4
Study the table related to blood thyroxine levels and answer the questions that follow.

Q1. What do you analyse from this blood test report?

Q2. Which gland secretes thyroxine and TSH hormone?

Q3. Which diet would you recommend to the affected patient?

Q4. Enlist the alternative name for "hormones".

Answers
