Updated 2025/2026
1. Which gland produce GH - ANSWER Pituitary gland: produces growth
hormone (GH), which include influences our height,
and helps build our bones and muscles.
2. GH secretion stimulated by - ANSWER GH secretion stimulated by:
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), fasting, starvation, and stress.
3. GH is inhibited by - ANSWER • GH is inhibited by: increased glucose
levels, free fatty acid release, obesity, cortisol
(steroid hormone)
4. Growth hormone disease - ANSWER • Growth Hormone Disease
(Hypopituitarism) is a rare condition caused by insufficient
amounts of growth hormone in the body. Three types of GHD can be birth
(congenital)
or develop later (acquired) or unknown (idiopathic).
5. Cause of gh disease - ANSWER Cause: tumors (most common), infection,
trauma, necrosis (death of most or all of the
cells), and unknown (idiopathic)
6. idiopathic GH deficiency - ANSWER This refers to a condition where there
is a lack of growth hormone, and the cause is
unknown (idiopathic).
- Individuals with idiopathic GH deficiency lack hypothalamic GHRH
(growth hormone-
releasing hormone)
- Condition: delay in long bone growth, leading to short and pudgy (like
a penguin)
- Treatment (TX) - daily injections of human growth hormone (HGH)
during puberty to
support normal growth.

,7. What problem is Aneurysm - ANSWER Cerebral problem
8. Explain about aneurysm - ANSWER Is a cerebral problem.
- is a weak or thin spot on a artery in the brain.
- weakness in vessel
- latent - no symptoms
- it may burst or rupture, spilling blood into the surrounding tissue -
called hemorrhage - this can cause serious health problems such as
hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage, coma, and even death.
9. Does aneurysm show any sign? - ANSWER No, it is latent. Not showing
signs of activity or existence
10.Saccular aneurysm - ANSWER Aneurysm bulges out only one side - check
pg 25
11.Fusiform aneurysm - ANSWER Bulges out on all sides of the blood vessel
12.symptoms of aneurysm - ANSWER Eyelid drooping - upper eyelid falls to a
position that is lower than normal, meningeal symptoms (like meninges
tumor sign) - fever, being sick, headache, rash, stiff neck, dislike bright
lights, drowsiness and seizures
- ICP - intracranial hypertension - elevation of the pressure in the
cranium
13.autonomic nervous system - ANSWER the part of the peripheral nervous
system that controls the glands and the involuntary function - hr, bp,
respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal
14.Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury - ANSWER
complete disruption of neurons
15.Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury - paraplegia -
ANSWER Symptom of paralysis that main effects your legs - lower
16.Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury - quadriplegia -
ANSWER Paralysis that affects your upper and lower (four limbs)
2
,17.Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury - paralysis -
ANSWER Retain some function - the loss of the ability to move in part of
the body
18.cauda equine syndrome - ANSWER - Autonomic nervous system - Spinal
cord and nerve injury -
- no cord injury because no cord after L1 (see picture on pg 39 for the
location of cauda equina)
- the compression of a collection of nerve roots
- nerve roots can be impinged (being influenced)
19.Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury - cauda equine
syndrome symtomps - ANSWER Several low back pain, bladder
dysfunction, bowel incontinence (loss of control), muscle weakness or
sensory loss in both legs, loss of motor fnction in legs (difficulty walking)
20.autonomic hyperreflexia - ANSWER - Autonomic nervous system - Spinal
cord and nerve injury
- a potentially life-thretening medical condition that many people with
spinal cord injury experience when there is a pain or discomfort below
their level of injury
- massive sympathetic response - responding to dangerous or stressful
situtations, fight or flight
- Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury - autonomic
hyperreflexia symptoms - ANSWER HTN, tachcardia, headach,
21.Autonomic nervous system - Spinal cord and nerve injury - autonomic
hyperreflexia result - ANSWER Can result in seizures and stroke
- neurogenic shock - you have trouble keeping your hr, bp, temperature
stable because of damage to your nervous system after a spinal cord
injury
- respiratory failure
22.Autonomic nervous system - communication by - ANSWER Neuron
synapse
23.Autonomic nervous system - sympathetic - ANSWER Fight or flight - the
reaction that people have to a dangerous situations that makes them either
stay and deal with it or run away.
3
, 24.Autonomic nervous system - role of sympathetic - ANSWER - Increase hr
and blood pressure
- dilate pupils and bronchioles
- blood from the GI - regulate GI blood flow via neurally mediated
vasoconstriction
- sympathetic work (discharge) to skin and skeletal muscle
25.Autonomic nervous system - sympathetic main hormone - ANSWER
Epinephrine - effect on your heart (heart rate, bp)
Norepinephrine - effect on your blood vessels
Both play a role in your body's natural fight-or-flight response to stress,
increase the rate of glycogen breakdown in the liver and skeletal muscle,
increase blood glucose, increase blood pressure, increase breathing rate,
increase metabolic rate, change blood flow patterns
26.Autonomic nervous system - parasympathetic - ANSWER Rest or digest,
conserve energy to be used later and to regulate bodily functions like
digestion and urination (the contraction of which causes bladder emptying)
27.Autonomic nervous system - parasympathetic role - ANSWER - decrease hr
and blood pressure
- constrict pupils
- blood to the GI Tract
- increased secretion like salivary gland or gastric secretion
28.Autonomic nervous system - parasympathetic hormone - ANSWER
Cholinergic - receptors which respond to the transmitter acetylcholine and
are mostly parasympathetic
Acetylcholine - chief neuro transmitter of the parasympathetic nervous
system
29.Ischemia - ANSWER Cerebral problems - a condition which flow (and thus
oxygen) is restricted or reduced in a part of the body. Cardiac ishemia is
decreased blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle.
30.two types of ischemia - ANSWER TIA (transient ischemic attack)
Stroke
31.Ischemia is related to - ANSWER Hypoxia why?
