No, her height is within normal range, and her pituitary gland is working normally.

<h3>Why is the pituitary gland called the master gland?</h3>

The pituitary gland is occasionally called the "master" gland of the endocrine system because it maintains the functions of many of the other endocrine glands.

The pituitary gland is no larger than a pea and is found at the base of the brain.

Thus, her height is within normal range, and her pituitary gland is working normally.

Proteins act as what in cells to control reactions
Damm [24]

The answer is; catalyst

These proteins are called enzymes. They work by lowering the activation energy of reactants and hence speed up the biochemical reaction. They are not affected in the process hence one enzyme molecule can catalyze many reactions. An example of such an enzyme is carbonic anhydrase that enables carbon dioxide to dissolve in blood plasma as carbonic acid.

Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Inte
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg. The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

Explanation:

  • Data:

Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg

Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg

Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg

  • Formula Applied :

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient

Hydrostatic pressure gradient = Capillary hydrostatic pressure - Interstitial hydrostatic pressure = 30mmHg - 0 mmHg = 30 mmHg

Oncotic pressure gradient =  Capillary colloid osmotic pressure - Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure =25  - 2 = 23 mmHg

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient = 30 mmHg - 23 mmHg = 7 mmHg.

Hence, The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

Go to biology.arizona.edu They have a ton of stuff on blood types. I don’t know if this will help because I’m not in biology yet but I’ve been there and it helped a lot with some stuff. Hopefully that didn’t sound to vague. Have a wonderful day.
