a. Identify Thyroid Gland secretions and functions. The thyroid gland secretes the thyroid hormones t3 and t4 which regulates the bodies weight management by managing the bodies cellular metabolism. b. Identify the following.
RIA is used to measure Thyroxine T3 while IRMA was used to measure TSH because T4. 5. How was it used to observe relative amount of iodine accumulated by thyroid gland? It is used by telling whether they have low or normal iodine. Results Table 2.
The thyroid also has a gland that is located at the base of the brain and controls how the thyroid works. It is called the pituitary gland and the two hormones that are produced are traveled down the bloodstream to the thyroid (Hormone). Hyperthyroidism is one of the most common diseases out of the thyroid diseases. Basically, too many of the hormone, thyroxine are produced and given to the thyroid from the pituitary gland. Hyperthyroidism speeds up the body’s metabolism which in turn makes the body have a significant weight loss, a weird heartbeat, sweating profusely, and nervousness.
The main function of the pituitary gland is to regulate the human growth hormone (HGH) and weight; main controller along with the genes of final height of a person. A malfunction in the pituitary gland can cause hypersecretion which results in gigantism or acromegaly and hypo secretion can result in dwarfism. The Thyroid Gland: The Thyroid gland is a very small vascular organ that is located in the neck. It consists of two lobes, one on each side of the trachea, just below the larynx or the voice box. The two lobes are
Follicular thyroid cancer also includes Hurthle cell cancer. - 15% of thyroid cancer - most common in women over 50 years old -follicular cells are the thyroid cells responsible for the production and secretion of thyroid hormones. -tends to metastasize to lung and bone through the blood stream e. Medullary thyroid cancer. Medullary thyroid cancer may be associated with inherited genetic syndromes that include tumors in other glands. However, most medullary thyroid cancers are sporadic, meaning they aren't associated with inherited genetic syndromes.

Jason Brechwald Period 5 Micro-Marine Biology Mrs. Repasi Microbiology Research Paper: Insulin The modern age has been full of amazing technological advances -- high-speed travel, the Internet, blue M&M's... However, if you have Type I diabetes, you are no doubt a big fan of one particular 20th century innovation: Insulin therapy. Before there was insulin therapy, people whose bodies stopped producing the hormone didn't hang around for long; there wasn't much that doctors could do for them (Insulin. MedicineNet.com). Insulin is a natural hormone made by the pancreas in the human body that controls the level of glucose in the blood.

Diabetes type2 Definition Diabetes type2 is defined as insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. When your body cannot use insulin properly and effectively, the insulin can’t convert the sugar that stays in the veins to the cells. Over time high blood sugar can damage the veins. When you eat, your body absorbs all of the nutrients from foods. Many nutrients like Carbohydrates will convert to the glucose and go right into your blood stream.
Polytechnic University of the Philippines College of Accountancy and Finance Sta. Mesa, Manila A partial requirement in the subject Biological Science Submitted by: Raymart Boseta Angel Santiago Roan Tabinas Marigold Buensalida Cherry Soliven Submitted to: Prof. Gary Lirio Endocrine System * A collection of glands that produces hormones * Functions in metabolism, fluid balance, growth and reproduction The endocrine system is the system of glands, each of which secretes different types of hormones directly into the bloodstream (some of which are transported along nerve tracts to maintain homeostasis. The endocrine system is in contrast to the exocrine system, which secretes its chemicals using ducts. The word endocrine derives from the Greek words "endo" meaning inside, within, and "crinis" for secrete. The endocrine system is an information signal system like the nervous system, yet its effects and mechanism are classifiably different.
