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:

The Hypothalamus * What are the two techniques used to study hypothalamic dysfunction? How do they differ? The two techniques used to study hypothalamic dysfunction are stimulation and destruction. To simulate the hypothalamus a small wire probe is inserted into

Pheochromocytoma‚ a rare condition caused by a tumor in the adrenal medulla affecting the chromaffin cells‚ results in an excess production of catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) and metanephrines. The most immediate effect of this condition is severe hypertension‚ but other symptoms (such as headache‚ palpitations and excessive generalized sweating) can also appear. If left untreated‚ pheochromocytoma may lead to hypertensive encephalopathy‚ cardiomyopathy‚ diabetes mellitus and even

1. The most likely cause of Bado’s hypocalcemia is chronic hypoparathyroidism which is secondary to a thyroidectomy. Hypoparathyroidism may be due to a failure to respond to vitamin D or a deficiency of it or a failure to respond to PTH. With the removal of Bongo’s thyroid‚ that is what caused his low levels of blood plasma Calcium level to be where it was when it was tested. 2. a. Hypocalcemia decreases the concentration of calcium outside of cell which increases the cells excitability and lowers

and the radioactivity can destroy the gland. However‚ this uptake of radioactive iodine can be blocked by giving iodide orally‚ thereby preventing hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland speeds up many metabolic reactions. A person with low thyroid hormone levels grows slowly‚ feels the cold more readily‚ thinks more slowly. If untreated‚ a hypothyroid person may become intellectually disabled. The thyroid gland in the neck may try to compensate for its low production by enlarging‚ and this is known

The nurse would expect the laboratory results to show a. increased urinary cortisol. b. decreased serum thyroxine. c. elevated serum aldosterone levels. d. low urinary catecholamines excretion. ANS: A Increased secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) by the anterior pituitary gland will lead to an increase in serum and urinary cortisol levels. An increase‚ rather than a decrease‚ in thyroxine level would be expected with increased secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)

makes hormones T3 (triiodothyronine)‚ and T4 (thyroxine). These hormones regulate metabolism. The thyroid is controlled by hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is a pea-sized gland located in the base of the brain which‚ among others‚ makes thyroid stimulating hormone‚ or TSH. TSH stimulates the thyroid to make thyroid hormone. In the case of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis‚ the thyroid cells are damaged‚ potentially resulting in the inability to make enough thyroid hormones to regulate
