- Thyroid cancer results when the cells in the thyroid gland divide uncontrollably. Individuals who have excessive exposure to radiation may have higher chance of getting thyroid cancer. Thyroid cancer can be treated through surgery, iodine therapy, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy. What is the purpose of prescribing thyroxine medication for patients following the surgical removal of the thyroid gland? Select one: a. to decrease TRH and increase TSH levels b. to increase TRH and TSH levels c. to decrease TRH and TSH levels d. to increase TRH and decrease TSH levelsarrow_forwardMany functions in the body are controlled by hormones – chemical signals that are secreted by one organ or tissue, but have effects in multiple areas. Calcium can enter the body from what we eat and drink. It circulates through blood and is used by many organs, so it’s level is carefully regulated. The amount of calcium in the blood is maintained at a relatively constant level by two hormones; for our purposes, we’ll just call them hormone A and hormone B. Hormone A is secreted by the parathyroid gland and it functions to increase blood calcium levels. Hormone B is secreted by parafollicular cells (C cells) in the thyroid gland and it functions to decrease blood calcium levels. Calvin, a teenage boy, begins eating ChocoRite™ Calcium Bites, a very tasty calcium supplement. He likes them so much that he ends up eating a whole package one afternoon. 1.Where does hormone B come from? A)From the calcium regulatory cells B)From the parathyroid gland C)From calcium supplements,…arrow_forwardFor each of the following scenarios explain how blood calcium would be effected (increased or decrease) and describe the pathway that results in an alteration of calcium levels. A: Jackie goes on a tropical vacation. B: Larry has takes a medication that osteoblasts more active. C: Lisa has an operation to remove her parathyroid glands.arrow_forward
- You work for a pharmaceutical company where you are assigned the task of creating new drug therapies to treat thyroid disorders such as hyperthyroidism (high levels of T3 and T4) and hypothyroidism (low levels of T3 and T4). Your team has designed a few drugs, and your job is to identify which drug(s) would be successful in treating thyroid disorders based on your knowledge of thyroid hormone synthesis. Below is the list of drugs your team designed (all of these are hypothetical drugs). Peroxidine: A drug that inhibits thyroid peroxidase from functioning Cimigine: A drug that inhibits potassium/iodine cotransporter Iodimine: A drug that inhibits iodinase from functioning Aldosine: A drug that inhibits production of angiotensinogen from the liver Aldoramine: A drug that inhibits sodium/iodine cotransporter Thyromine: A drug that stimulates thyroglobulin production Identify the drug(s) that would be successful in treating hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, and explain why and how they…arrow_forwardYou work for a pharmaceutical company where you are assigned the task of creating new drug therapies to treat thyroid disorders such as hyperthyroidism (high levels of T3 and T4) and hypothyroidism (low levels of T3 and T4).

- "Motor neurons trigger action potentials in muscle cell membranes that open voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels in T tubules, allowing extracellular Ca2+ to enter the cytosol, bind to troponin C, and initiate rapid muscle contraction", is true or false.arrow_forwardTyrosine came from the Greek word "tyros" which means cheese as it was discovered in cheese by Justus von Liebig, a German chemist in 1846. Tyrosine serves as the precursor for dopamine - the neurotransmitter which is considered as the "reward or pleasure molecule" in our brain. It is also involved in controlling the fine motor movement of our muscles such as those of our hands. Draw the titrimetric profile of tyrosine and calculate its isoelectric pH. [Note: The aromatic hydroxyl group is titratable]arrow_forwardFeedback loops regulate the release of hormones in either a positive or negative loop. Consider this example: The hypothalamus releases thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates the pituitary to release the TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). TSH then stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone. When elevated levels of thyroid hormone are detected by the hypothalamus and pituitary further release of TRH and TSH is suppressed. b. What would happen to the levels of TRH and TSH if a tumor of the thyroid gland were discovered resulting in uncontrolled release of the thyroid hormone from the tumor itself? * Your answer (LENGHT DOESN'T MATTER, I NEED IT ASASP PLEASE)arrow_forward
