Oops! You accidentally removed the pituitary gland of a dorsal shark... Predict how the removal of the pituitary gland will affect the shark (assuming it survived your procedure). Provide different examples of how the shark will be impacted

True or false Gigantism can often be treated and even cured with sugery. Dwarfism is due to excessive GH secretion.  Type I diabetes melitus is commonly seen in children, not in adults

I am studying anatomy an physiology 2 in chapter 17 talking about hormones. I get how hormones work and the different affects it has on the body. However, I am doing a critcal thinking assignment about rats and the different hormones they secret.  heres my first question The autopsy results of this rat revealed an increase in the size of the adrenal glands and a slight decrease in the weight of the pituitary gland.  The overall body mass of the animal had dropped over the past couple of weeks.  The thymus gland in this rat weighed much less than the control , what hormone was injected into the rat

Please help, i am not sure

Between 1959 and 1961, thalidomide was prescribed to expectant mothers in Canada for morning sickness. Once it was determined that thalidomide was linked to miscarriages and birth defects, it was pulled from Canadian pharmacies in 1962. It is estimated that over 20 000 individuals worldwide were affected by thalidomide. There are approximately 100 thalidomide survivors in Canada who have been approved to receive compensation from the federal government. Which of the following over the counter and prescription medications have not been linked with birth defects or problems with pregnancy? (Some research may be required.) Select one: a. Valproic acid for epilepsy b. Amoxicillin as an antibiotic c. Advil (ibuprofen) d. Isotretinoin for acne

A CST is assisting a surgeon with a lumbar discectomy procedure. The CST removes tissue from the jaws of the pituitary rongeur that the surgeon is using to remove the disc material. He looks at the specimen and says to the physician, “I think you should stop and look at this – it doesn’t look like disc material to me.” The surgeon asks, “How so?”, and the CST responds, “It has a lumen.” The surgeon examines the tissue, has the circulator page a genitourinary specialist, completes the discectomy, and assists in the repair of the ureter. What did the CST have to know in order to make this critical observation? Discuss the relationship between knowledge of anatomy and physiology and its practical application in the OR setting.

Select the term that does not belong in the group. For example, in the group Atom Cell Tissue Alive Organ you would select "alive", because all of the other terms are levels of organization. "Alive" is not a level of organization, so it does not belong.

Choice 1. Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) causes the kidneys to retain Ca2+.  That means the kidneys keep calcium in the blood rather than let it go out into the urine.  The target cells here are cells lining kidney tubules, which make urine. Calcitriol causes the small intestine to absorb more calcium from your food.  (think about what that means- you don't always absorb all of the calcium from your food- if you have plenty, some of it stays in the digestive tract and goes out with the feces!)  The target cells here are cells lining the small intestine, which are responsible for moving nutrients from the lumen of the intestine into the blood. Both hormones exert their effect by causing their target cells to insert more calcium transporters into their membranes.  The water-soluble hormone uses cAMP as a second-messenger.  Incidentally, PTH also causes cells of the kidneys to activate more calcitriol, and tells cells of the bone to release some stored calcium to the blood. a. Are these…
