Answer:

- Levothyroxine and lanreotide, respectively.

Explanation:

Hypothyroidism is a disorder of thyroid gland, characterized by decreased production of thyroid hormones. Levothyroxine is a drug, which is  similar to natural thyroid hormone.

Hence, levothyroxine can be used to treat hypothyroidism as it replaces the thyroid hormone that would be normally produced by thyroid gland and returns the level of thyroid hormones to normal.

Pituitary tumors represent a disorder of pituitary gland, characterized by abnormal growth of cells found in pituitary gland. It leads to disruption of normal hormonal balance in body and health by overproduction of hormones.

Pituitary tumors are treated by using drugs to control hormone synthesis by particular cells. For example, lanreotide is used to decrease production of growth hormone by cells of pituitary gland.

Thus, levothyroxine and lanreotide are drugs used to treat disorders of thyroid and pituitary glands, respectively.

un automóvil de 1500 Kg tiene un motor que puede suministrar a 60kw las ruedas traseras ¿ cual es la velocidad máxima a la que e
zlopas [31]

Answer:

<em>la velocidad del auto es  15.75 m/s</em>

Explanation:

Potencia entregada a las ruedas P = 60 kW = 60000 W

masa del automóvil m = 1500 kg

ángulo de inclinación ∅ = 15°

velocidad del automóvil V =?

peso del automóvil W = mg

g = aceleración debido a la gravedad = 9.81 m/s^s

peso W = 1500 x 9.81 = 14715 N

Para acelerar el plano de inclinación, usamos la fórmula

potencia = (peso del automóvil W) x (velocidad del automóvil V) x sin∅

60000 = 14715 x V x sin 15°

60000 = 3808.52V

velocidad V = 60000 ÷ 3808.52 = <em>15.75 m/s</em>

Mashcka [7]
Option A. True.

Neurotic is a class of functional mental disorders involving distress but neither delusions nor hallucinations. 
              - may be defined simply as a "poor ability to adapt to one's environment, an inability to change one's life patterns, and the inability to develop a richer, more complex, more satisfying personality.

They tend to have negative views to themselves and their emotions because they acquired negative notion within them as they grow up. I believe in a scripture that says, "what you sow, is what you reap."
