1. what can cause primary hyperpathia- hypercalcemia due to adenoma or
hyperplasia of
roidism? gland
2. what can cause secondary chronic renal failure and vitamin D deficiency
hyper- parathyroids?
3. define hypoparathyroidism. abnormally low PTH levels
4. what are the two major regions of cortex: aldosterone, cortisol, androgens
the adrenal gland? which hormones do medulla: epinephrine and
norepinephrine
they produce?
5. how are stress responses such cortisol secretion
those carried out by the immune
system, liv- er, muscles, and
adipose tissue initiat- ed?
6. what is the renin-angiotensin-
a hormone cascade pathway that helps
aldos- terone system?
regulate blood pressure and blood
7. regarding RAAS, which enzyme is volume
re- sponsible for the
conversion of an- giotensin I to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
angiotensin II?
