Question:
Explain in detail why the thyroid becomes enlarged during an iodine
deficiency?
Answer:
When there is a low level of thyroxin in the blood, the anterior pituitary
continues to produce TSH. The thyroid responds by increasing in size and
producing a goiter, but this increase in size is ineffective because active
thyroxin cannot be produced without iodine.
, Question:
Aldosterone is involved in the regulation of sodium and potassium in the
body. Explain how too much aldosterone could contribute to high blood
pressure.
Answer:
Aldosterone's primary target organ is the kidney, where it promotes renal
absorption of sodium and renal excretion of potassium. The blood sodium
level is particularly important to the maintenance of blood pressure. Too
much sodium causes retention of fluid and increases blood pressure.
Therefore, too much aldosterone will cause increased and potentially high
blood pressure.
Question:
Matching each of the following conditions with the one best explanation (1-
5):
1. Jet Lag F. Melatonin production is produced according to body's normal
rhythm
2. Pituitary dwarf A. Underproduction of GH as a child
3. Acromegaly C. Overproduction of GH as an adult
4. Inflammation E. Cortisol helps to counteract this condition
5. Tetany H. Results if calcitonin is not produced in response to low blood
calcium
