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.

There is need for use of more than one loci probes to make sure there is no error and that the results are 100% accurate.

vaieri [72.5K]

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system controls the internal body functions and responses which are not under the voluntary control. The functions control by the autonomous nervous system are heart rate, body fluid circulation, respiration, urination, sexual arousal and pupillary response.

The lymphatic system is one of the part of the circulatory system, it consists of a network of connected tubes called as lymphatic vessels. These vessels distribute the lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymph fluid consists of white blood cells which provide immunity against the pathogen.

The respiratory system is the system which controls the exchange of gases (Carbon dioxide and oxygen) between the body and the environment.

Both lymphatic circulation and respiration are the two functions controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
