the Researchers chose to use Rattus norvegicus (Sprague Dawley Rats) since rats are considered one of the most commonly used animals in the laboratory. Rat strain is created through breeding to produce rats that are similar to each other and can therefore be used in research. Wistar‚ Fisher and Sprague Dawley‚ and their hundreds of internal divisions‚ are examples of rat strains. Most laboratory rat strains descend from a colony of rats established at the Wistar institute in 1906. The Sprague Dawley

1. Which rat‚ A‚ B or C has no thyroid gland? Rat A (1 pts) 2. Justify your answer. (what data convinced you of your answer) (1 pts) T3 and T4 regulate the metabolism‚ so when more is available it increases the baseline metabolic rate. TSH causes the release of T3 and T4‚ so if the rat is injected with TSH‚ in theory we would suggest that the levels of T3 and T4 are also higher than the baseline metabolic rate. 3. In a further experiment‚ all 3 rats were given a drug that inhibits the production
