Answer: Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone test would confirm secondary hypothyroidism.

Explanation:

The serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test involves the intravenous administration of a small amount of Thyroid Releasing Hormone (TRH) and the measurement of TSH levels at some points following the administration.

The first step involves collecting the blood sample of the patient and measuring the baseline TSH prior to the intravenous administration of TRH. Blood sample is drawn again 30 minutes after TRH administration, and TSH level is measured and compared to the baseline measurement.

If there is slight or no increase in serum TSH level following TRH administration, it is secondary hypothyroidism because the cause of the hypothyroidism is in the anterior pituitary gland. This means that the pituitary gland is not secreting TSH because it is diseased.

belka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 2. "Scientists use seismometers to measure the earthquake activity that occurs beneath a volcano. They then predict the eruption of that volcano".

Explanation:

A seismometer is an equipment used by scientists to monitor ground's motion, including the earthquake activity that occurs beneath a volcano. These instruments are useful to predict if a volcanic eruption is imminent. By analyzing the length and strength of the ground's motion occurring during earthquake activity near a volcano, scientist could predict if an eruption is about to take place.
