Name the hormones that are responsible for the following functions:-
Conversion of cartilage to bones;
Increase in BMR;
Increase in rate of reabsorption from distal convoluted tubule of nephron;
implantation of fertilized egg to uterus wall.

Solution:

1. Conversion of cartilage to bone requires thyroid hormone.
2. Increase in Basal metabolic rate or BMR is due to thyroid hormone. It does so by primarily increasing ATP production
3. Hormone aldosterone is responsible for increasing the rate of reabsorption from distal convoluted tubule of nephron.
4. Progesterone help in the implantation of egg in the uterus.
