Question

Consider the communication between the hypothalamus, pituitary and various target organs when answering this question.  For each condition discussed, state the change you would expect to find for each hormone/compound addressed - INCREASED, DECREASED, UNAFFECTED, CAN'T INTERPRET: 

A patient suffering from untreated Graves disease: 

  1. A)  TSH                    B) Calcitonin                   C)  Thyroxine(T4/T3)                  D) TRH 

A patient suffering from untreated goiter: 

  1. A)  TSH                     B) Calcitonin                    C)  Thyroxine(T4/T3)                 D)  TRH 

A patient suffering from pituitary tumor secreting ACTH: 

  1. A) CRH                    B)  ACTH                          C)  Cortisol                         D)  Plasma potassium level 

Now, let's consider calcium metabolism and balance.   For each condition discussed, state the change you would expect to find for hormone/calcium levels - INCREASED, DECREASED, UNAFFECTED, CAN'T INTERPRET: 

A patient with an actively-secreting parathyroid adenoma: 

  1. A)  Plasma calcium level                   B)  Calcitonin                      C) Calcitriol                           D)  PTH 

  

A child with osteosarcoma (malignant bone tumor - actively breaking down bone): 

  1. A)  Plasma calcium level                     B)Calcitonin                      C)Calcitriol                          D) PTH
