Which of the following target cells to increase metabolism? (Choose two)
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Hormones that act on the target cells to increase metabolism are Triiodothyronine (T₃) and Thyroxine (T₄).

Explanation:

The hormones triiodothyronine (T₃) and thyroxine (T₄) are the active forms of thyroid hormone, responsible for increasing cell metabolism.

Both T₃ and T₄are produced by the thyroid gland, in response to the pituitary hormone TSH. T₄ is more abundant but less powerful than T₃

Thyroid hormones are responsible for controlling cell metabolism, since their increase determines an increase in metabolism, and their deficiency slows it down.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em><u>Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH)</u></em><em> is produced by the hypothalamus to activate the production of TSH in the pituitary gland.</em>
  • <em><u>Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)</u></em><em> is a pituitary hormone in charge of activating the production of T₃ and T₄ in the thyroid.</em>
  • <em><u>Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)</u></em><em> is produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of hormones in the adrenal cortex.</em>

A co-worker cut his wrist on a bandsaw and is bleeding severely. Blood is spurting from an arterial bleed. Direct pressure is no
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

- First, place some gauze pads or a clean cloth on the wound and hold for 10 minutes.

- If the gauze or cloth becomes soaked with blood, without removing it, place another on top and continue pressing for another 10 minutes.

- If the blood does not stop flowing, place the wound raised upwards to avoid excessive bleeding.

While you call an Emergency Ambulance.  

Explanation:

Bleeding usually occurs from a cut or trauma that causes the blood vessels to break.

An arterial hemorrhage occurs when the outflow of blood comes from the circulatory system to the outside caused by the rupture of an artery.

Until the artery closes or the wound is cauterized, blood is likely to continue to flow until the person shows symptoms of confusion, slow heart rate, and shock that ultimately leaves the person to bleed to death.
