Considering the primary target organs of growth hormone, explain why growth hormone is not a tropic hormone

Biology

Growth hormone is not a tropic hormone. This is because, unlike tropic hormones, it does not target other endocrine glands. 

Growth hormone affects bones and muscles. It promotes long bone growth during the <span>formative years. It also targets many organs to stimulate growth by promoting fat breakdown and protein synthesis.</span>

What are somethings that cause mutations in cancer
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

mutations cause most cases of cancer. Some acquired mutations can be caused by things that we are exposed to in our environment, including cigarette smoke, radiation, hormones, and diet. Other mutations have no clear cause, and seem to occur randomly as the cells divide.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- B.

Explanation:

Synovial fluid is a clear slippery fluid which is present in the synovial cavity.

The synovial fluid helps the nourishment as it provides nutrients to the and oxygen to the hyaline cartilage of the bones as well as the lubrication of the cartilage surfaces due to the viscous nature like oil which lubricates the piston.

This smooth surface facilitates the smooth and painless movements between the bones, therefore, the Option-B is the correct answer.

1. The following statement is similar to those you might see on exams. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences describing 1) whether
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The oxygen dissociation curve represents the percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen at different partial pressure of oxygen. The different partial pressures gives sigmoid shapes to the curve. When this curves shifts to right, it  indicates  low affinity or binding of oxygen by the Hb. it also indicates the unloading or releases of Oxygen by Hb molecules at condition of low pressure. e,g in the muscles during strenuous exercise.However, when the curve shifts to the left, this indicate high affinity for oxygen, great binding, at high partial pressure of oxygen.e,g in the lungs to take oxygen and releases CO2.

Therefore in this scenario, the statement -. <u>During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right.</u> is correct. because oxygen is needed by the muscles therefore ,oxygen should be less binded by Hb,  decrease affinity and easily unloaded to muscles.

<u>The statement </u>This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 into hemoglobin in the lungs is wrong.

As explained above the rightwards shift indicated low affinity of Hb for oxygen(unloading)and  favours unloading at the muscles because during strenuous exercise the partial pressure of oxygen is very low(but that of CO2 high) in the muscles which favours low oxygen molecules  binding by Hb, and easy release to respiring cells.
