Tim will need to take several hormone replacements because he no longer has a functioning pituitary gland. Which hormones should

Answer:

Pituitary hormone replacement therapy

Explanation:

Hypopituitarism is a condition in which the pituitary gland is not producing one or more of its hormones or is producing them at lower than normal levels. Generally, these hormones stimulate other endocrine glands to produce their hormones. For example, if the pituitary gland doesn't make the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), the thyroid gland doesn't work correctly.

The pituitary gland, which is located at the base of the brain, controls the production of hormones in all endocrine glands. In pituitary hormone replacement therapy, a patient takes hormones to replace the hormones not being produced by the pituitary gland. Such hormones include adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), sex hormones, prolactin, and growth hormone.

Hope it will help you. If help please make it brainliest so that others can find it easily when they will ask this type question. :)

What process allows Na+ and K+ to move in and out of the cell simultaneously?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C. Active Transport.

Explanation:

Because Na+ and K+ are ions, which makes them <em>charged molecules</em>, they can only diffuse through the cell membrane when using specialized protein channels. This is called <u>facilitated diffusion</u> and is a form of passive transport because sodium and potassium move <em>following their gradients</em>, which are made of the difference in concentration between the inside of the cell and the outside of the cell. For example, potassium is highly concentrated inside the cell and poorly concentrated outside the cell, so potassium diffuses from the inside to the outside to even the concentrations.

But the question asks in which process Na+ and K+ move in and out of the cell SIMULTANEOUSLY, so the answer is actually <u>active transport</u>. Active transport is the opposite of passive transport. While passive transport occurs naturally and doesn't need ATP (energy) to happen, active transport needs ATP because it moves molecules AGAINST their gradient. One of the most famous and important structures involved in active transport is the Na+/K+ pump, which consists of a <em>specialized protein using energy to enter 2 potassium ions and take out 3 sodium ions at the same time</em>. This Na+/K+ is fundamental to maintain the gradients, which are important for the correct functioning of many cells.

If a person experiences rapid breathing, muscle twitches, and perspiration when trying to quit using illegal opiates, he or she
Nuetrik [128]
<span>This person is experiencing common physical symptoms of what is called "withdrawals". Opiates, when used illegally, can be highly addictive. This drug targets the central nervous system (the brain, cardiovascular and respiratory systems) and contains opioid receptors that receive opiate drugs. Abusing this drug can disrupt a person's brain chemistry, leading to severe physical withdrawal symptoms as listed in the question.</span>
