Answer:
Gigantism.
Explanation:
Growth hormone is also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone is a polypeptide hormone that regulates the growth, cell regeneration and cell reproduction in the organism.
The abnormal secretion of growth hormone can cause a disease. The excess secretion of growth causes gigantism during early development. The height of an individual is extremely tall than the normal individuals.
Thus, the answer is gigantism.
Answer:
The correct answer to the question: The pineal body secretes which hormone that maintains the body´s internal clock, the 24-hour wake-sleep cycle, and regulates the onset and duration of sleep?, would be, C: Melatonin.
Explanation:
The process of sleep and wakefulness, also called the circadian cycle, its a pretty complex system that is controlled by several parts of the brain, but most importantly, structures of the diencephalon (vital is the hypothalamus), the pineal gland, and the stem of the brain. All these structures, and some others, respond to changes both in light perception by the eyes and other senses, heat, and homeostatic balances. These factor play a vital role in telling the human body that it is time for sleep, or to awaken. The pineal gland, as part of this melody, is essential, as it secretes the hormone, melatonin, in response to light changes. Melatonin will balance out the process of sleep, when it is secreted in high quantities by the pineal gland, and wakefulness, when it is no longer secreted in response to the presence of light. This is what is called the circadian cycle.
Answer:
The missing options are:
a. "It's due to insufficient production of vitamin B12 in the colon."
b. "Increased production of intrinsic factor in the stomach leads to this type of anemia."
c. "Overproduction of vitamin B12 in the large intestine can result in pernicious anemia."
d. "Decreased production of intrinsic factor by the stomach affects the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine."
The correct answer is d. "Decreased production of intrinsic factor by the stomach affects the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine."
Explanation:
Intrinsic factor is a protein that is produced by cells in the stomach, this protein is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine. Without intrinsic factor, the absorption of vitamin B12 would be really low, causing pernicious anemia since vitamin B12 is necessary for the production of healthy red blood cells. If there is not a good production of healthy red blood cells that can distribute O₂ and CO₂, the body suffers from pernicious anemia.
