Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 2CTQ
Amanda (from question 1 above) goes to the clinic and blood is drawn. The results show that her T4 levels are low and her TSH levels are low. Later she is given a TSH stimulation test in which TSH is injected and the T4 levels are monitored. After TSH injection, her T4 levels rise. Does Amanda have problems with her pituitary or with her thyroid gland? How I did you come to your conclusion?

- How does the hypothalamus influence the posterior and anterior lobes of the pituitary gland? Select all that apply. The anterior pituitary lobe secretes hormones that were made inside the hypothalamus. The anterior pituitary lobe produces hormones, but their release is controlled by hormones released from the hypothalamus. The posterior pituitary lobe produces hormones, but their release is controlled by hormones released from the hypothalamus. The posterior pituitary lobe secretes hormones that were made inside the hypothalamus.arrow_forwardElaine just turned 50 years old and had all of the recommended screening tests at her annual physical.
