antagonists‚ are drugs that are prescribed to treat several different types of conditions‚ including hypertension (high blood pressure)‚ angina‚ some abnormal heart rhythms‚ heart attack (myocardial infarction)‚ anxiety‚ migraine‚ glaucoma‚ and overactive thyroid symptoms.

1. Anatomy- study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts. Physiology- study of how the body and its parts work or function. The relationship between anatomy and physiology is that anatomy has to do with the structures and names of the body‚ while physiology has to do with the function and how the structure works. An example of their correspondence is the cardiovascular system‚ consisting of the heart and blood vessels (anatomy) and how the heart pumps oxygen‚ nutrients‚ and wastes

Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases Center‚ hypothyroidism “is a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone to meet the body’s needs.” The thyroid hormone regulates metabolism which is the way the body uses energy. The way the body uses energy affects nearly every organ in the body. Without enough thyroid hormone‚ many of the body’s functions slow down. The lack of thyroid hormone can cause obesity. From the year 1970 to the year 2000 there was 64% increase in obese
