Explanation:

To solve these questions, we identify the hormones or mechanisms based on their functions:

11.

Function: Controls metabolic rate.
Hormone: Thyroxine (produced by the thyroid gland).

12.

Function: Growth and development.
Hormone: Growth Hormone (GH, produced by the pituitary gland).

13.

Function: Emergency responses (fight-or-flight).
Hormone: Adrenaline (Epinephrine, produced by the adrenal glands).

14.

Function: Detects imbalances, restores internal balance.
Mechanism: Homeostasis (the process of maintaining internal equilibrium).

15.

Function: Stimulates follicle development in the ovary.
Hormone: Follicle - Stimulating Hormone (FSH, produced by the pituitary gland).

16.

Function: Promotes thyroid hormone secretion.
Hormone: Thyroid - Stimulating Hormone (TSH, produced by the pituitary gland).

17.

Function: Milk production.
Process: Lactation (or the process of milk secretion, often initiated by Prolactin).

18.

Function: Lowers blood glucose.
Hormone: Insulin (produced by the pancreas).

19.

Function: Increases blood glucose.
Hormone: Glucagon (produced by the pancreas).

20.

Function: Maintains pregnancy.
Hormone: Progesterone (produced by the corpus luteum/placenta).
