In primary hyposecretion of thyroid hormones

Medicine
1 answer:

Answer:

A. Levels of thyroid hormones in the blood decreases.

Explanation:

Hyposecretion means too little hormone levels. It can be primary hyposecretion which is due to damage to the gland or it can be secondary hyposecretion which is due to deficiency of tropic hormones.

Tropic hormones: If a hormone produced from one endocrine gland acts on another endocrine gland as their target then we call such hormones as Tropic hormones.

For example, Hypothalamus produces the TRH i.e. thyrotropin releasing hormone which stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce TSH i.e. thyroid stimulating hormone. Here both TRH and TSH are examples of tropic hormones. TRH is produced by hypothalamus and stimulate pituitary gland, similarly TSH is produced by pituitary gland and acts on thyroid gland to stimulate the release of T3 and T4.  

In case of primary hyposecretion, there can be damage of the thyroid gland which may result in decreased levels of T3 (triodotyronine) and T4 (tetraiodothyronine) in the blood, but there is no change in the tropic hormone levels i.e. TSH or TRH levels.

Hypothyroidism is mainly due to deficiency of iodine in the diet or damage to the thyroid gland.

Answer:

When there is a malfunction of the cell reproduction sequence regardless of the cause (whether it is damaged by mutation, internal or external disruption of the cell reproduction cycle or other factors, the most approximate result is Cancerous growth.

Explanation:

The genes which regulate cell growth can be likened to the brakes of a vehicle. The brakes ensure the car stops when it has to. This prevents accidents, damages, death and destruction of property.

When the mechanism for the replication and replacement of cells go out of control, all sorts of malformations emerge. We term them cancerous tissues.

Steroid hormones
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

A) bind to receptors in the nucleus of their target cells.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol and are lipids, therefore they cannot be transported in the blood dissolved in the plasma. They are associated with transport proteins to travel in blood.

Because they are lipids, they can diffuse through cell membranes, and once inside the target cell they bind to receptors in the cytoplasm or the nucleus and alter gene expression.

Project: Ethics and morals
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

ETHICS :

Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that "involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior".The field of ethics, along with aesthetics, concerns matters of value, and thus comprises the branch of philosophy called axiology.

Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. As a field of intellectual inquiry, moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory.

Three major areas of study within ethics recognized today are:

1. Meta-ethics, concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions, and how their truth values (if any) can be determined

2. Normative ethics, concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of action

3. Applied ethics, concerning what a person is obligated (or permitted) to do in a specific situation or a particular domain of action.

MORALS :

A moral (from Latin morālis) is a message that is conveyed or a lesson to be learned from a story or event. The moral may be left to the hearer, reader, or viewer to determine for themselves, or may be explicitly encapsulated in a maxim. A moral is a lesson in a story or in real life.
