The nurse should anticipate the use of antiviral comination in the management of this patient ( <span>peginterferon alfa-2a and </span>ribavirin). This will help
reduce further damage to the liver. A repeat test should be conducted to
indicate whether the virus is cleared.
Answer:
Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback. In negative feedback systems, a stimulus elicits the release of a substance; once the substance reaches a certain level, it sends a signal that stops further release of the substance. In this way, the concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within a narrow range. For example, the anterior pituitary signals the thyroid to release thyroid hormones. Increasing levels of these hormones in the blood then give feedback to the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary to inhibit further signaling to the thyroid gland, as illustrated in Figure 18.14. There are three mechanisms by which endocrine glands are stimulated to synthesize and release hormones: humoral stimuli, hormonal stimuli, and neural stimuli.
Explanation:
Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is underactive. Which of the conditions are the following two patients most likely to have?
Patient A has symptoms including weight gain, cold sensitivity, low heart rate and fatigue.
Patient B has symptoms including weight loss, profuse sweating, increased heart rate and difficulty sleeping.Humoral Stimuli
The term “humoral” is derived from the term “humor,” which refers to bodily fluids such as blood. A humoral stimulus refers to the control of hormone release in response to changes in extracellular fluids such as blood or the ion concentration in the blood. For example, a rise in blood glucose levels triggers the pancreatic release of insulin. Insulin causes blood glucose levels to drop, which signals the pancreas to stop producing insulin in a negative feedback loop.
Hormonal stimuli refers to the release of a hormone in response to another hormone. A number of endocrine glands release hormones when stimulated by hormones released by other endocrine glands. For example, the hypothalamus produces hormones that stimulate the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. The anterior pituitary in turn releases hormones that regulate hormone production by other endocrine glands. The anterior pituitary releases the thyroid-stimulating hormone, which then stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the hormones T3 and T4. As blood concentrations of T3 and T4 rise, they inhibit both the pituitary and the hypothalamus in a negative feedback loop.
I'm gonna say false because it is one cell in a multicellular meaning different parts have different functions
Cancer cells affect the cell cycle by not following the checkpoints and dividing abnormally and not getting destroyed by the process of apoptosis leading to the formation of tumours.
In the cell cycle during the mitotic phase the cell divides resulting in two daughter cells and segregation of DNA occurs in this. In cell cycle, there are checkpoints of signalling pathways which determine when the cell has to grow and divide. The healthy cells follow the cell cycle.
Explanation:
Cancer cells become immortal and result in faulty proteins which are not required by the system. The cancer cells grow uncontrollably and are abnormally shaped.
The cell cycle has check points at S phase and G2 phase before it enters the Mitotic phase of division. Normal cells follow the checkpoints.
Mass movements (also called mass-wasting) is the down-slope movement of Regolith (loose uncemented mixture of soil and rock particles that covers the Earth's surface) by the force of gravity without the aid of a transporting medium such as water, ice, or wind.
The rate at which it moved
The type of motion is the most important characteristic of a slope failure, and there are three different types of motion:
If the material drops through the air, vertically or nearly vertically, it’s known as a fall.
If the material moves as a mass along a sloping surface (without internal motion within the mass), it’s a slide.
If the material has internal motion, like a fluid, it’s a flow.
