a.
To determine: The number of variables present in the graph.
Introduction: The parathyroid hormone is located on the dorsal surface of the thyroid gland. The main function of parathyroid hormone is to elevate the concentration of Ca2+ in the plasma. To achieve this increase, parathyroid hormones act on the kidney, bones, and intestine.
b.
To determine: The ways in which the results of the study can be explained.
Introduction: The parathyroid hormone increases the reabsorption of calcium in the distal part of the nephron in each kidney. It enhances the intestinal absorption of calcium via its action on vitamin D3.
c.
To determine: Whether supplements of multivitamins affect the results.
Introduction: The hormone 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol increases the intestinal absorption of calcium. This hormone is also known as vitamin D3 or calcitriol. The body synthesizes calcitriol from vitamin D that has been acquired through diet or formed in the skin through the action of sunlight.

She has not been to a provider for 11 years because “I don't like doctors.” Her only complaint today is “pain in my upper back.” She describes the pain as sharp and knifelike. The pain began approximately three weeks ago when she was getting out of bed in the morning and hasn't changed. M.S. rates her pain as 6 on a 0- to 10-point pain scale and says the pain decreases to 3 or 4 after taking “a couple of ibuprofen.” She denies recent falls or trauma. M.S. admits she needs to quit smoking and start exercising but states, “I don't have the energy to exercise, and besides, I've always been thin.” She has smoked one to two packs of cigarettes per day since she was 17 years old. Her last blood work was 11 years ago, and she can't remember the results. She went through menopause at the age of 47 and has never taken hormone replacement…arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements regarding breast cancer is true? a. A vast majority of patients with breast cancer have a first - degree relative with breast cancer. b. Many patients present with a mass detected during self - breast exam. c. Many women with breast cancer use alcohol and are smokers. d. More than half of women with breast cancer are BRCA 1 / BRCA 2 carriers. e. None of the statements are true.arrow_forwardDescribe modifying epistasis. Modifying epistasis can be observed in the coat color of Dobermans. The doberman has two color genes: a black(B) and a color-dilution(D) gene. These two genes can create four different colors combinations in coat. Among the two color genes in the Doberman dogs, which one is the epistatic gene, and which one is the hypostatic gene. Why?arrow_forwardA study looking at breast cancer in women compared cases with non- cases, and found that 75/100 cases did not use calcium supplements compared with 25/100 of the non-cases.

A research study examined the blood serum levels of oxytocin in patients who have Type 2 diabetes and those with normal blood glucose levels. Each group was then subdivided into normal weight patients and obese patients. The levels of oxytocin were found to be lower in the obese patients with Type 2 diabetes than in the normal weight patients with normal blood glucose levels. Identify the manipulated and responding variable(s) in the study by placing the number of the type of variable in the blank.
