Solution

  1. The gland that increases the basal metabolic rate is the Thyroid gland. It produces the hormone thyroxine, which increases the metabolic rate of almost all cells in the body.

  2. The Hypothalamus triggers the release of hormones by the anterior pituitary gland. It produces and releases hormones that control the pituitary gland.

  3. The Parathyroid glands respond to low blood calcium levels. They produce parathyroid hormone, which increases blood calcium levels.

  4. The Posterior Pituitary gland releases oxytocin, which triggers uterine contractions during childbirth.
