Answer:

a. low birthweight

Explanation:

Normal gestation period is around 40 weeks before babies are being born with fully developed system and are capable of leading a normal life without intensive care. Preterm or premature birth are births that occur before the 37th week of pregnancy.

Average weight of full-term babies (babies born between 37–40 weeks) is around 7 pounds (3.17 kg) at birth, with a normal weight ranging from 5 lb 8 oz to 8 lb 13 oz.

Full-term babies who weigh below this range could be said to have low birth weight.

  • <em>Chloe, a full-term baby born after 40 weeks gestation and weighs 4 pounds, would be considered to have a low birth weight.</em>

VikaD [51]

Answer:

C. The testes

Explanation:

The testes,  also called testicles, are the only external male sex organs from the list of answers.  They are in charge of producing sperm and testosterone. They actually need to be outside the body, to be just a tiny bit cooler than the main body core temperature in order to produce sperms, that's why they are placed in the scrotum pouch.

The prostate and Cowper glands are internal as well as the vas deferens which is a canal transporting the sperm.

Jane has been feeling tired, has cold and gained a bit weight and trouble concentrating. what hormone problem symptoms is this ​
ipn [44]

The hormones which cause Jane’s problem are the thyroid hormones.

The condition is hypothyroidism

Explanation:

Condition:  Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder which arises when the thyroid gland cannot produce the necessary amount of thyroid hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).  

Both T3 and T4 are tyrosine-based hormones which regulate metabolism and any deficiency slows down the metabolic processes and can result in high cholesterol levels and atherosclerosis

Causes:  An underactive thyroid gland  and Autoimmune disorder

Diagnosis:  Thyroid function tests by measuring serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and T4 levels

In hypothyroidism, the TSH secreted by the pituitary gland will be high because it is producing more hormones to stimulate the underactive thyroid gland.

An underactive thyroid gland cannot produce normal levels of T4 in the body.

Symptoms:  Fatigue and weakness, cold intolerance, weight gain and puffy appearance, hair thinning, dry skin, decreased concentration, poor memory, muscle and body aches etc.

Treatment : Hormone replacement therapy with levothyroxine
