Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thyroid gland releases thyroid hormones, which increase metabolism in the body. This is the primary function of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), which is released by the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce and release more thyroid hormones. Shivering is a response by the body to generate heat, and the vascular system is protected by other hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone. Insulin is produced by the pancreas and is not directly related to thyroid function.
