    Thyroid and Click Submit

    Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question 1: Make a prediction about the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of the remaining rats compared with the BMR of the normal rat you just measured. Your answer : b. The hypophysectomized (Hypox) rat's BMR will be higher than the normal rat's BMR. Predict Question 2: What do you think will happen after you inject thyroxine into the three rats? Your answer : c. The hypophysectomized rat will become hyperthryoidic and develop a goiter. Predict Question 3: What do you think will happen after you inject TSH into the three rats? Your answer : a. The normal rat will become hyperthyroidic and develop a goiter. Predict Question 4: Propylthiouracil (PTU) is a drug that inhibits the production of thyroxine by blocking the attachment of iodine to tyrosine residues in the follicle cells of the thyroid gland (iodinated tyrosines are linked together to form thyroxine). What do you think will happen after you inject PTU into the three rats? Your answer : a. The normal rat will become hyperthyroidic and develop a goiter. Stop & Think Questions: 1h. Calculate the oxygen consumption per hour for this rat using the following equation. ml O2 consumed/1 minute x 60 minutes/hour = ml O2/hour Enter the oxygen consumption per hour in the field below and then click Submit to display your results in the grid. You answered: 426 ml O2/hr 1i. Now that you have calculated the oxygen consumption per hour for this rat, you can calculate the metabolic rate per kilogram of body weight with the following equation (note that you need to convert the weight data from grams to kilograms to use this equation). Metabolic rate = (ml O2/hr)/(weight in kg) = ml O2/kg/hr Enter the metabolic rate in the field below and then click Submit to display your results in the grid. You answered: 1710.8 ml O2/kg/hr 2h. Calculate the oxygen consumption per hour for this rat using the following equation. ml O2 consumed/1 minute x 60 minutes/hour = ml O2/hour Enter the oxygen…

    Importance of calcium ions

    Importance of calcium ions

    Considering all of the roles that it plays, calcium is of the upmost physiological importance and is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium is a chemical element depicted by the symbol Ca and has an atomic number of 20 (Saunders). This means that calcium has 20 electrons as well as 20 protons. A Ca2+ ion has both of the atom's valence electrons stripped from it, so it has an overall positive charge of two. Calcium is essential structurally by helping to build and maintain strong bones. This vital mineral makes up 99% of the bones and teeth (Saunders). Calcium in bones can be used as a reserve that can later be released into the blood when it is needed the most. The important role that calcium plays in so many processes dictates that its concentration, both extracellularly and intercellularly, be maintained within a very narrow range (Saunders). Even relatively small changes in blood calcium levels can have dramatic effects, including muscle and brain dysfunction, heart failure and ultimately death. Calcium levels in the blood are regulated by two hormones: Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone (PTH), as well as Vitamin D. These hormones act on bone cells and other tissues to help raise or lower plasma concentrations. When calcium levels rise, the hormone calcitonin functions to reduce blood calcium, which is sensed by the thyroid gland (Hendrickson). Calcitonin acts to lower the concentration of calcium in the blood by taking…
