Answer:
a. Glucagon - Pancreas
b. Cortisol - Adrenal gland.
c. Calcitonin - Thyroid gland.
d. TSH - Pituitary gland.
e. GHRH - Hypothalamus.
f. Insulin - Pancreas.
g. Oxytocin - Hypothalamus.
Explanation:
a. Glucagon is a peptide hormone which is synthesized and secreted by alpha cells of insulin. It regulates level of blood sugar by increasing glucose level during hypoglycemic conditions.
b. Cortisol is a lipid-derived hormone, which is produced by cortex of adrenal gland. It increases level of blood sugar under stress conditions and triggers anti-inflammatory and anti-stress pathways.
c. Calcitonin is a peptide hormone, which is produced by thyroid hormone. It is a hypocalcemic hormone that decreases level of blood calcium when blood calcium concentration reaches above the normal level.
d. TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is produced by anterior lobe of pituitary gland. It triggers production of thyroid hormones (T4 and T3) from thyroid gland.
e. GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) is produced by hypothalamus. It gives signal to pituitary gland for the production of growth hormone.
f. Insulin is a peptide hormone, produced by beta cells of pancreas. It regulates blood sugar level by decreasing blood glucose during hyperglycemic conditions.
g. Oxytocin is is synthesized by hypothalamus and is released by posterior lobe of pituitary gland. It plays role in labour pain and lactation.
Answer:
A positive TB skin test or TB blood test only tells that a person has been infected with TB bacteria.
Untreated pulmonary TB disease can lead to long-term damage to these parts of the body: lungs. brain. liver.
If you are sick enough with TB disease to go to a hospital, you may be put in a special room. These rooms use air vents that keep TB bacteria from spreading to other rooms.
See your doctor if you have a fever, unexplained weight loss, drenching night sweats or a persistent cough
The most important way to prevent the spread of drug-resistant TB is to take all TB drugs exactly as prescribed by the health care provider. No doses should be missed and treatment should not be stopped early.

Answer:
When a person dies the medical professional needs to fill the death certificates with the cause, mechanism, and manner of death on it. There is confusion between all three terms.
The cause of death is the reason behind the death such as disease or injury that makes disruption physiologically inside the body of an individual. The mechanism of death is the derangement that arises due to the cause of death and leads to the death of the person. The third term is the manner of death is how death came (physiological reason).
An example is - a person shot by a gun in the chest (cause of death) which leads to excessive blood loss (mechanism of death) which is homicide (manner of death)
