blood cells D. the islets of Langerhans E. A & B --- correct answer --
-B

B. T3 C. T4 D. TSH E. B & C (Thyroid hormones cannot be produced
without iodine) --- correct answer ---E
17. Iodine is needed to produce which hormone/s?

C. ACTH
D. TSH
E. A & D --- correct answer ---A
18. Which of the following is NOT a function of oxytocin?
Growth of uterus and vagina
,Uterine contraction
Milk letdown
Given to aid in childbirth process --- correct answer ---Growth of
uterus and vagina
18. Which of the following is NOT a function of oxytocin?
Uterine contraction
Bone growth
Milk letdown
Given to aide in childbirth process --- correct answer ---Bone
growth
19. Which hormones are produced in the anterior pituitary?
TSH, MSH, and calcitonin
ADH, GH, and prolactin
ACTH, FSH, and GH.
PTH, TSH, and LH --- correct answer ---ACTH, FSH, and GH
19. Which hormones are produced in the anterior pituitary?
A. TSH, MSH, and calcitonin
B. ADH, GH, and prolactin
C. PTH, TSH, and FH
, D. ACTH, GH, and prolactin --- correct answer ---D
20. Explain in detail why the thyroid becomes enlarged during an
iodine deficiency? --- correct answer ---When there is a low level of
thyroxin in the blood, the anterior pituitary con!nues to produce
TSH. The thyroid responds by increasing in size and producing a
goiter, but this increase in size is ineffec!ve because ac!ve thyroxin
cannot be produced without iodine.
20. Aldosterone is involved in the regulation of sodium and
potassium in the body. Explain how too much aldosterone could
contribute to high blood pressure. --- correct 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.
21. 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
