- Figure 37.14 Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have? Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate, and fatigue. Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate, and difficulty sleeping.arrow_forwardFigure 37.11 Pancreatic tumors may cause excess secretion of glucagon. Type I diabetes results from the failure of the pancreas to produce insulin. Which of the following statement about these two conditions is true? A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will have the opposite effects on blood sugar levels. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hyperglycemia. A pancreatic tumor and type I diabetes will both cause hypoglycemia. Both pancreatic tumors and type I diabetes result in the inability of cells to take up glucose.arrow_forwardThe condition hypothyroidism is characterized by a decrease in the synthesis and secretion of the chemical thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland, an organ in the neck that is part of the endocrine system. Which level of organization does not match this condition? A. The thyroid glad is regulated by others hormones from other glands in the body at an organ system level. B. The endocrine system works with the cardiovascular system to allow transporting the hormones throughout the body function at the organism level. C. At the tissue level group's of follicular cells that make the thyroid hormones form a spherical structure with a hollow interior called follicle. D. The plasma membrane of follicular cells that are found in the thyroid gland is made up of phospholipid bilayer at the tissue level.arrow_forward
- Weened goats (kids) were fed on a low energy diet consisting exclusively of hay for two years. The hay had a Calcium:phosphorus ratio of 1:10. After two years the kids had developed malformed legs and difficulty walking. Which of the following hormonal changes would you predict would result from this diet? Select one: a. Increase in parathyroid hormone and decrease in calcitonin b. Increase in thyroid hormone and decrease in parathyroid hormone c. Decrease in parathyroid hormone and increase in calcitonin d. Increase in thyroid hormone and decrease parathyroid hormonearrow_forwardA goitre is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, resulting in a large swelling of the neck. It can lead to swallowing or breathing problems. It is most commonly caused by inadequate amounts of dietary iodine. Iodine is essential in thyroxine synthesis. Enlargement of the thyroid gland occurs Select one: a. due to decreased levels of TSH b. due to increased levels of thyroxine c. due to decreased levels of thyroxine d. due to increased levels of TSHarrow_forwardDiabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by the: a. inadequate production of insulin in the body. b. rapid break down of carbohydrates in the body. c. excessive movement of blood glucose into various body cells. d. failure of the body to produce ketonesarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about the thyroid gland is true?a. It is located anterior to the trachea and inferior to the larynx.b. The parathyroid glands are embedded within it.c. It manufactures three hormones.d. all of the abovearrow_forwardHyponatremia is a condition that occurs when the level of sodium ions in the blood is severely low. This condition can occur in endurance sports such as ultra running. One cause of hyponatremia is when athletes consume too much water.The hormone that is secreted by the body to increase the absorption of sodium ions and the gland that secretes it are, respectively: Select one: a. Hormone Gland Aldosterone Adrenal cortex b. Hormone Gland ADH Posterior pituitary c. Hormone Gland ADH Adrenal cortex d. Hormone Gland Aldosterone Posterior pituitaryarrow_forwardGrowth hormone therapy has been widely used to help people with dwarfism and has helped certain individuals to become taller. Some recent studies have identified another hormone as potentially beneficial, which is given in conjunction with growth hormone. Given their general function, which hormone would supplement or enhance the effects of hGH? Select one: a. calcitonin b. cortisol c. inhibin d. parathyroidarrow_forward
- A person who is hemorrhaging (losing lots of blood) may experience which of the following symptoms based on the secretion of antidiuretic hormone? a. Increased body temperature b. Increased salivation c. absence of sweating d. Frequent urinationarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about secondary hyperparathyroidism is correct? Select one: A. It is caused by a parathyroid tumor. B. It is triggered by hypercalcemia. C. It is caused by hyperplasia of the parathyroid gland. D. It is treated by vitamin D. E. It is treated by PTH.arrow_forwardIn Graves' disease, the body attacks the thyroid gland tissue and causes it to overproduce thyroid hormones, resulting in elevated blood levels of T3 and T4. Which of the following statements would be TRUE? Since blood levels of thyroid hormones are elevated, the hypothalamus would not release TRH and the Anterior Pituitary Gland would release more TSH. Since blood levels of thyroid hormones are elevated, the hypothalamus would release more TRH and the Anterior Pituitary Gland would then stop releasing TSH. Since blood levels of thyroid hormones are elevated, the hypothalamus would not release TRH and the Anterior Pituitary Gland would not release TSH. Since blood levels of thyroid hormones are elevated, the hypothalamus would not release TSH and the Anterior Pituitary Gland would not release TRH.arrow_forward
