A person develops a rare autoimmune condition during early adulthood which targets only the cells in the thyroid responsible for the release of calcitonin. Which of the following is most likely to describe the patient's blood Ca2+ concentration? This person is asymptomatic and has normal blood Ca" levels. This person has hypocalcemia (low blood Ca) because osteoclasts are not resorbing bone. This person has hypocalcemia (low blood Ca) because of reduced Ca absorption in the gastrointestinal tract This person has hypercalcemia (high blood Ca) because osteoblasts are not depositing bone.
Choose the right statement regarding vitamin C: Vitamin C supplement is efficient in treating cold Vitamin C is involved in collagen synthesis, that's why deficiency leads to bleeding gums If supplements vitamin C are taken in high amounts, there will be no toxicity because excess is eliminated in urine All statements are false
An elderly gentleman has recently been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He admits to being a heavy drinker. This man is your patient. Given the damage to his liver, you would have concerns about all of the following except a. regulating his ability to maintain body temperature, because of decreased thyroid hormone levels. b. internal bleeding, because he has impaired ability to synthesize clotting proteins. c. edema, because of impaired synthesis of plasma proteins (e.g., albumin). d. jaundice, because his liver is less efficient at removing bilirubin from the blood.
This graph shows an individual's glycemic response after consuming a glucose-sweetened beverage. Which of the following individuals does this graph represent? Blood glucose (1P/6w) 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 0 30 60 90 120 Time after sugary drink (min) O A person who has type I O A person who has hypoglycemia A person who has type II O A person who has a normal glycemic response
Which are true are false? Agglutination will most likely occur if a recipient with Type B blood receives Type AB blood from a donor. Large veins require their own blood supplied by smaller blood vessels called microvasa. Parathyroid hormone decrease blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoblasts and increasing calcium in the urine. Most lymphocytes circulate continuously in the bloodstream. Insulin is secreted by alpha cells of the pancreas in response to elevated glucose levels following a meal. Basophils release histamine and are phagocytic Metastasized cancer cells cannot enter the lymph system because of the continuous basement membrane surrounding lymphatic capillaries. Eosinophils are derived from the myeloid stem cell line When compared with erythrocytes, leukocytes are smaller and have a nucleus.
1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol: increases bone mineralization by increasing serum Ca levels decreases bone reabsorption by antagonizing the action of PTH on bone decreases serum phosphate levels by decreasing renal phosphate reabsorption decreases serum alkaline phosphatase levels by decreasing bone turnover
1. In thyrotoxicosis (Basedow’s diisease) excessive secretion of thyroid thyroxine hormone is observed and it is often accompanied by the increase in body tem- perature. Explain the reason for the increase in body temperature in this disease. For this purpose:a) draw the scheme of the process that maintains the temperature of the body;b) name the mechanism of the thyroxine effect on this process;c) show how the rate of О2 absorption by mitochon- dria of the cells will change in thyrotoxicosis.
Regarding chronic inflammation, which of the following statements is NOT correct? Omega-6 fatty acids tend to be pro-inflammatory while omega-3 fatty acids participate in anti-inflammatory pathways x Glycemic index is a measure of the impact a carbohydrate-containing food has on blood glucose Visceral fat and high blood pressure are both risk factors for chronic inflammation Chronic inflammation is driven by pro-inflammatory cytokines like melatonin and superoxide dismutase
One day after sinulog, a 37 year old alcoholic male was brought to medical emergency department of SWU medical center in semi-conscious state. He was out of muscle coordination, with vision changes and somehow confabulating (making up stories). Which of the following vitamins can be used as a part of the treatment? * (Please choose one correct answer only) A. Cyanocobalamin B. Thiamin C. Folic acid D. Pantothenic acid
A male patient was admitted to hospital because his extremities were cyanotic (blue in colour) and he had some convulsions. His blood sugar levels indicated that he was hypoglycemic. The doctors initially gave him glucose intravenously as well as adding it to his diet, but his blood sugar level did not stabilize. However, when the doctors introduced glucagon, the blood sugar levels stabilized. The patient was diagnosed as having a deficiency in glucagon. Select the item below that describes an effect of this condition. Select one: a. The liver breaks down glycogen to glucose, increasing the blood glucose concentration. b. The liver cannot break down glycogen to glucose, so the blood glucose remains low. c. The adipose tissue breaks down fat to form glycogen, keeping blood glucose low. d. The muscle cells cannot store glycogen, so the blood glucose remains high.
10 days after thyroid surgery, a patient returns to his physician complaining of problems that have gradually developed in the intervening period. It is determined that he has parathyroid deficiency due to inadvertent damage to the parathyroid glands because his signs and symptoms include Group of answer choices a low plasma Ca2+ level, increased muscular excitability, and spasm of the muscles of the upper extremity (Trousseau sign) low plasma phosphate and Ca2+ levels and tetany low plasma phosphate and Ca2+ levels and tetanus increased muscular excitability, a high plasma Ca2+ level, and bone demineralization.
