- Figure 16.14 Goiter, a disease caused by iodine deficiency, results in the inability of the thyroid gland to form T3 and T4 . The body typically attempts to compensate by producing greater amounts of TSH. Which of the following symptoms would you expect goiter to cause? a. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. b. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate. C. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. d. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate.arrow_forwardThe endocrine system: A. All of the answers are correct B.

- The_______ has both endocrine and exocrine functions. a. hypothalamus c. pineal gland b. parathyroid gland d. pancreasarrow_forwardYour immune system has detected an invading bacterial infection. Cytokines are released. What do you predict will happen in terms of your thermoregulatory set point? Choix de groupe de réponses Your thyroid gland will release endorphins to decrease your metabolic rate, cooling you down Your thyroid gland will release melatonin to increase your metabolic rate, cooling you down Your hypothalamus will decrease the set point, making you feel warm relative to your previously normal body temperature Your hypothalamus will increase the set point making you feel chilled at your previously normal body temperaturearrow_forwardThe dexamethasone test involves the administration of a synthetic glucocorticoid. Knowing about negative feedback mechanisms, how do you think this test helps determine the function of the pituitary? Since you couldn't answer one of my questions heres the last one.
