How would the feedback mechanism function to restore homeostasis after high TSH levels? Include receptor details

Biology
1 answer:
Flura [38]4 years ago

Answer:

Immediate effect of high TSH is release of thyroxin.

Low TSH leads to release of low thyroxin.

Hypothalamus releases TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone) and TRH acts on pituitary to release TSH.

Pituitary gland releases TSH.

TSH stimulates thyroid gland to release thyroxin.

Thus if there is low TSH in the blood, immediately, the pituitary enters into action releasing high TSH, TSH enters into action by triggering thyroid to release more thyroxin and thus maintains homeostasis of thyroxin within blood stream.

If there is high TSH in blood stream, immediately, the thyroid released more thryroxin, thus more thyroxin could be found in blood stream, high levels of TH (thyroxin) in blood signals pituitary to release less TRH and thus it triggers less TSH from hypothalamus, and thus less thyroxin again from thyroid gland. Thus high TSH in blood through low TSH and TH triggers to maintain homeostasis in blood.

Thus TH (thyroxin) has negative feedback on hypothalamus and pituitary glands.

During metaphase, the chromosomes are ______.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

During metaphase, the cell's chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell through a type of cellular "tug of war." The chromosomes, which have been replicated and remain joined at a central point called the centromere, are called sister chromatids.

<span>D. evidence that are acquired through use or disuse. Since it is believed that some parts of an organism developed through its need. For example a giraffe got its long neck becuase of reaching for a tree that could produce its food. Another example is the leg of a human which developed because of its need to walk. It was believed that the parts of the an organism did exist or did vanish depending if it was no longer used or it was necessarily needed to survive.</span>

What are the factors that contributed to the success of pteridophyte as land plant
Anna35 [415]

Two factors contributed to the success of the pteridophytes: the extreme miniaturization of the gametophytic generation and an important development of the sporophytic generation (development of the tree forms).

Pteridophytes are a group of plants that peaked in the Carboniferous (-300 million years). It is the first great terrestrial plant civilization. These plants would have appeared in the Devonian -400 million years ago, perhaps from certain primitive terrestrial plants which, unlike bryophytes, would have favored the diploid generation on the haploid generation.

Particularly well adapted to terrestrial life, they have created, thanks to the development of tree forms, immense forests whose fossilization is at the origin of coal deposits.

Pteridophytes are at the origin of an evolutionary lineage based on the extreme miniaturization of gametophytic generation and an important development of sporophytic generation, leading to all tracheophytes including current flowering plants. Pteridophytes are well adapted to terrestrial life, however fertilization still requires the presence of water since male gametes are swimmers.
