Present your explanation why would the alkalosis produced by hypoparathyroidism decrease serum free calcium levels?

Explain what was occurring in the body to increase the heart rate and blood pressure of the test subject during the stress tests. What outside factors may have affected the results?

Which of the following could lead to renal osteodystrophy?a. low levels of parathyroid hormoneb. high levels of blood calciumc. injections of calcitrold. increased physical activitye. a high protein diet

Hormones released by endocrine glands 1) ACTH 2) Cortisol 3) Thyroxine 4) Aldosterone 5) Epinephrine 6) ADH. Match the following to the number above a) ________: returns the sodium ion concentration in the blood back to normal after sweating.   b) ________: Decreased secretion leads to an excessive amount of urine.   c) _________: Stimulates the release of the hormone responsible for increases in blood sugar.   d) ________: Excessive secretion leads to weight loss.

excess Ca in the body can be problematic, can you explain what occurs when Calcium levels are too high in the serum?

Which of the following is NOT a symptom of hypothyroidism? a) Weight gain b) Bradycardia c) Heat intolerance d) Cold intolerance

Apply your knowledge of the effects of thyroid hormone and PTU to explain how these treatments resulted in different oxygen consumption rates.  (Saying that it causes an increase or decrease in O2 consumption is not a sufficient answer)

From the following list, choose the THREE things that would occur as a result of a patient becoming hypocalcemic.   increased urinary excretion of calcium increase in PTH reduction in osteoclast activity increased osteoblast activity increase in calcitriol reduction in osteoblast activity increased deposition of hyaline cartilage

ZOOM Short Answer – Choose 3 questions to answer 1. Which would you expect to have a faster effect: a steroid hormone or a peptide hormone? Explain your answer. 2. Give an example of a hormone that is controlled by a negative feedback loop. Explain what the hormone regulates and what controls the release and inhibition of the hormone. 3. The nervous system and the endocrine system are, of course, different but they have many features in common. List five things that the endocrine system and the nervous system have in common. 4. List 5 factors that can affect red blood cell production and/or the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen? 5. Blood pressure is regulated by baroreceptors, which are located in the aorta and the carotid arteries. In response to signals from these receptors, the cardiac control center of the medulla will send signals to reduce the force of ventricular contractions. Given this sort of control, why do people develop high blood pressure?

Discuss the pathology of a condition in which glucose regulation (in the blood and/or urine) presents problems for patients.  What causes this condition?  How is glucose monitoring accomplished, and how is it indicative of the patient's level of proper biological function?  Explain on a cellular level how this glucose imbalance arises.  Also explain the science behind the monitoring technique.  Most importantly, what measures can be taken by patients to correct for this glucose imbalance in the long term?  Why do these measures work?
