b. Iodide c. Zinc
d. Testosterone Angiotensin II. Ca++^ is considered an important second messenger that facilitates the binding of a hormone (e.g., norepinephrine, angiotensin II) to a surface receptor, activating the enzyme phospholipase C through a G protein inside the plasma membrane.
a. Hypothyroidism b. Diabetes insipidus c. Hypercortisolism d. Insulin hyposecretion Hypothyroidism. If the tumor exerts sufficient pressure, then thyroid and adrenal hypofunction may occur because of lack of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). These result in the symptoms of hypothyroidism and hypocortisolism.
Dilution & water retention
c. Psychogenic d. Ischemic Nephrogenic. Only nephrogenic DI is associated with an insensitivity of the renal collecting tubules to ADH.
Decreased glucose causes fatty acid use, ketogenesis, metabolic acidosis, and osmotic diuresis, which have resulted in the symptoms listed in the question.
nerve impulse. This creates tetany manifested as muscle spasms, hyperreflexia, tonic- clonic convulsions, laryngeal spasms, and, in severe cases, death from asphyxiation.
60. A chronic complication of diabetes mellitus is likely to result in microvascular complications in which areas? (Select all that apply.) a. Eyes x b. Coronary arteries c. Renal system x d. Peripheral vascular system e. Nerves x The areas most often affected are the retina, kidneys, and nerves.
e. Liver gluconeogenesis Decreasing muscle cell reuptake of glucose, carbohydrate metabolism, and liver gluconeogenesis. The term glucocorticoid refers to those steroidal hormones that have direct effects on carbohydrate metabolism. These hormones increase blood glucose concentration by promoting gluconeogenesis in the liver and by decreasing uptake of glucose into muscle cells, adipose cells, and lymphatic cells. Glucocorticoids are not capable of fat storage.
c. Platelets d. Erythrocytes Platelets (thrombocytes) are not true cells but are disk-shaped cytoplasmic fragments that are essential for blood coagulation and control of bleeding.
b. Hematologic reaction to heparin in which the bone marrow is unable to produce sufficient platelets to meet the body’s needs c. Immunoglobulin E–mediated allergic drug reaction that reduces circulating platelets d. Cell-mediated drug reaction in which macrophages process the heparin and platelet complexes that are then destroyed by activated cytotoxic T cells. Answer is A. Heparin is a common cause of drug-induced thrombocytopenia. HIT is an immune-mediated, adverse drug reaction caused by immunoglobulin G antibodies that leads to increased platelet consumption and a decrease in platelet counts.
