Do you know any background knowledge of the thyroid or a condition relating named thyroid cancer? If not‚ I don’t either so I decided to pick this condition to learn new information about it. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck just below the thyroid cartilage. It has two side lobes connected to the bridge in the middle and is rich with blood vessels. The thyroid plays a huge role in our body influencing the function of many of our body’s important organs like

My hypothesis was supported because through the lab‚ it became known that the mouse only consumed 60 0 /min which meant they only use 3.5cal/day compared to our use of 2‚000 calories a day. No doubt

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

Autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) is the most common autoimmune disease associated with type 1 diabetes. Therefore‚ a sound understanding of the disease process and how it impacts glycemia is important. ATD may present as Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) or Grave’s disease. HT results in hypothyroidism and is the most common presentation‚ while Grave’s disease results in hyperthyroidism (Kakleas‚ Soldatou‚ Karachaliou‚ & Karavanaki‚ 2015). Specific HLA types in patients with type 1 diabetes are associated

Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and reproduce. Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics. The specific metabolic properties of a microbe are the major factors in determining that microbe’s ecological niche‚ and often allow for that microbe to be useful in industrial processes or responsible for biogeochemical

There are 4 common types of thyroid cancer‚ and each type responds best to 1 or a combination of thyroid cancer treatments. Papillary Thyroid Cancer The most common type of thyroid cancer‚ papillary cancer‚ accounts for 70% to 80% of all recorded thyroid cancer cases. It is 3 times more likely to affect females than males‚ and is usually diagnosed in people ages 30 to 50. Typically non-aggressive‚ this type rarely spreads beyond the neck area.

The word metabolism can also refer to all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms‚ including digestion and the transport of substances into and between different cells‚ in which case the set of reactions within the cells is called intermediary metabolism or intermediate metabolism. Metabolism is usually divided into two categories. Catabolism breaks down organic matter‚ for example to harvest

The Horrible Hormones I live on a small farm at the top of a mountain. At the bottom of the long gravel driveway is a two story tan house with a red door and shutters. Behind the house is the barn. The barn is a baby blue‚ two stall barn where the horses stay and where we store hay for our animals. There are two fairly large pastures connected to the barn that the animals can graze on. If you walk past the barn to the wood line you will find a small hutch with a handful of pigs. Just past the pigs
