A patient that is losing weight and suffering from an increased body temperature could be hypersecreting:
Correct answer: A. Thyroxin
- A. Thyroxin
- B. PTH
- C. STH
- D. GnRH
Explanation
Yes, an increase in thyroxine (thyroid hormone) levels can lead to an elevation in body temperature. Thyroxine plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, including heat production. Higher thyroxine levels can accelerate metabolic processes, resulting in increased heat generation within the body. This rise in metabolic rate can contribute to higher overall body temperature, a phenomenon known as thyrotoxicosis or hyperthyroidism.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
