Question
Chapter 23, Problem 19RQ
Summary Introduction
To design: A graph that shows the effect of plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration on calcium ion concentration and the other graph that shows the effect of plasma calcium ion concentration on PTH.
Introduction: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is secreted from parathyroid glands, which are located behind the thyroid gland. The main function of PTH is to regulate calcium levels in the blood.

Give 3 examples of probable endocrine disruptors. Why are endocrine disruptors ofconcern even at very low concentrations?Briefly describe:a) the endocrine system (what biological systems are involved), andb) 3 ways endocrine disruptors (EDs) affect the endocrine system
All of the following statements relating to endocrine signaling are correct EXCEPT:
The synthetic pathways for many steroid hormones are shown in Fig. 23-1 in Silverthorn.
This Is shown in a simplified format below with several intermedlate steps omitted.
Cholesterol
Progesterone
Andro-
Testosterone
Dihydro-
stenedione
testosterone
21-hydroxylase
Estradiol
Aldosterone
and cortisol
Aldosterone is an important steroid hormone that regulates water and salt balance. People
with congenital adrenal hyperplasia suffer from "salt wasting" if not treated with hormone
replacement therapy. Explain why a mutation in the 21-hydroxylase gene results in a
deficiency in aldosterone and cortisol production. Use the name of the substrate, the
enzyme and the product in your answer!

The pituitary gland is often called the "master gland" because it controls the activities of other glands.

Include in your discussion the answer to the following: What effect will an increase or decrease in production have on the target organs?What signs and symptoms are associated with this condition and how is it treated?arrow_forward
