Answer:
Thyroid hormones
Explanation:
Animals and people exposed to pesticides such as insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides, have shown to be affected by their effect on the thyroid. These chemicals can produce endocrine alterations acting as thyroid disrupters. They affect many mechanisms in the organisms such as inhibition of thyroid iodine uptake, <u><em>interference with the thyroid hormone receptor</em></u>, binding to transport proteins, among others. They cause toxicity in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.
There are many studies that associate thyroid diseases with exposure to organochloride pesticides. Significant alteration in the TSH, T3, and T4 levels have been expressed by people directly or indirectly exposed to the chemicals.

Explanation:
The Karoo Supergroup that formed hundres of millions of year ago covered the most part of South Africa. The Tillite debris from melting glaciers, in Dwyka Tillite are located at the bottom layers of the Karoo Supergroup, which is an indication that millions of years ago, South Africa was under extensive glacier coverage formed during the movement of the continent past the South Pole
The eventual arrival of the continent to temperate regions away from the South Pole resulted in the melting of the glaciers from which a huge swamp was formed.

The nervous system has three general functions: a sensory function, an interpretative function and a motor function. 1. Sensory nerves gather information from inside the body and the outside environment. The nerves then carry the information to the central nervous system (CNS). 2. Sensory information brought to the CNS is processed and interpreted. 3. Motor nerve cells convey information from the CNS to the muscles and glands of the body. The nervous system is responsible for coordinating all of the body's activities.</span>
