How are tumor cells different from normal cells?

1 answer:

The big difference is growth. Normal cells stop growing when there are enough in one spot.

For example: When you get a cut, cells go to heal the wound, and the cells grow. But when the work is done, the cells stop growing.

But, cancer/tumor cells (not at a wound) grow and grow even when touching the first layers of muscle and skin. This would be what creates the lump. So, these bad cells are very overgrown and practically swollen cells.

Hope I helped.

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

Talja [164]

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.
