In humans, total adrenalectomy is fatal without replacement therapy whereas hypophysectomy is not. This is because after hypophysectomy: the adrenal cortex undergoes compensatory hypertrophy the adrenal catecholamines compensate for the metabolic actions of cortisol the secretion of aldosterone is not markedly decreased. tissue requirements for corticosteroids decrease markedly. all of the above Factors that increase serum cortisol concentrations include all of the following except: stress eating a high-carbohydrate meal pregnancy exercise all of the above

Hi, can you help me with the following multiple choice questions: Thanks!! Z. is a 27-year-old man with readily apparent thyroid goiter. He comments that he gained 5 pounds in the last year, and you notice that his weight is approximately 20 pounds greater than normal. What can you conclude about this patient’s thyroid function? the goiter indicates that he is hyperthyroid the combination of excessive weight and goiter indicates that he is hypothyroid the combination of excessive weight and goiter indicates that he is hyperthyroid he is probably euthyroid, because the weight gain eliminates the possibility of hyperthyroidism it is not possible to make a conclusion from this information provided. For an answer to be correct, both the symptom and the explanation must be correct. Which answer is incorrect? the resting heart rate increases because circulating levels of catecholamines increase. Excess thyroid hormones stimulate the release of more adrenal catecholamines. myocardial…
Hi, can you help me with the following multiple choice questions: Thanks!! Which pathologic condition would most likely cause increased thyroid radioactive iodine uptake? primary hypothyroidism secondary hypothyroidism Grave’s disease Hashimoto thyroiditis T4 rather than T3 is generally thought to be the most appropriate treatment for hypothyroidism. T4 normally is the most appropriate hormone to use because it: is the more potent hormone has a higher binding affinity for the thyroid hormone receptor has a larger extrathyroid pool with a slower turnover rate. is the only form of thyroid hormones that can be transported into cells all of the above.
