Growth hormone is released from the anterior pituitary. OC. Growth hormone stimulates cells to increase uptake of amino acids. O d. Overproduction of growth hormone can cause gigantism. e.

Growth hormone, or GH, is used medically to spur growth in children who are unusually short because they have a GH deficiency. However, it is useless for a short but otherwise normal 25-year-old to request GH treatment in order to grow taller. Why?
A physician sees a patient whose symptoms include sluggishness, depression, and intolerance to cold. After eliminating other possible causes, the doctor diagnoses a hormone problem. What disorder fits the symptoms? Why does the doctor suspect that the underlying cause is a malfunction of the anterior pituitary gland?
Figure 16.14 Goiter, a disease caused by iodine deficiency, results in the inability of the thyroid gland to form T3 and T4 . The body typically attempts to compensate by producing greater amounts of TSH. Which of the following symptoms would you expect goiter to cause? a. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. b. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate. C. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. d. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate.

The condition hypothyroidism is characterized by a decrease in the synthesis and secretion of the chemical thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland, an organ in the neck that is part of the endocrine system. Which level of organization does not match this condition? A. The thyroid glad is regulated by others hormones from other glands in the body at an organ system level. B. The endocrine system works with the cardiovascular system to allow transporting the hormones throughout the body function at the organism level. C.

The plasma membrane of follicular cells that are found in the thyroid gland is made up of phospholipid bilayer at the tissue level.
Select ALL the statements that are correct. Growth hormone production is inhibited by somatostatin. Growth hormone production is stimulated by the release of the tropic hormone GHRH in the hypothalamus. Growth hormone production is inhibited by IGF-1 which is secreted by the liver. Gigantism and acromegaly differ in that gigantism is due to oversecretion of GHRH, not GH.
