Refer to Activity 1: Determining Baseline Metabolic Rates.

How did the baseline metabolic rates of the three rats differ? The normal rat's metabolic rate was the lowest. The thyroidectomized rat's metabolic rate was the highest. The hypophysectomized rat's metabolic rate was the highest. The metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized and hypophysectomized rats were lower than that of the normal rat.

Why did the metabolic rates differ? The hypophysectomized rat lacked thyroid-stimulating hormone. The thyroidectomized rat lacked TSH. The normal rat lacked propylthiouracil. The hypophysectomized rat lacked thyroxine.

Refer to Activity 2: Determining the Effect of Thyroxine on Metabolic Rate. How did the thyroxine affect the normal rat's metabolic rate? It caused the rate to increase. It caused the rate the decrease. It had no effect on the metabolic rate.

What was the effect of thyroxine on the thyroidectomized rat's metabolic rate? Thyroxine decreased the metabolic rate. Thyroxine caused the rat to gain weight. Thyroxine increased the metabolic rate. Thyroxine had no effect on the metabolic rate.

What was the effect of thyroxine on the hypophysectomized rat? Thyroxine increased the metabolic rate. Thyroxine decreased the metabolic rate. Thyroxine had no effect on the metabolic rate. Thyroxine caused the rat to gain weight.

Refer to Activity 3: Determining the Effect of TSH on Metabolic Rate. What is the effect of TSH on the normal rat's metabolic rate? TSH increased the metabolic rate. TSH had the opposite effect of thyroxine. TSH had no effect on the metabolic rate. TSH decreased the metabolic rate.

How did the metabolic rate of the thyroidectomized rat injected with TSH compare to its baseline metabolic rate? It was slower than the baseline rate. It was the same as the baseline rate. It was faster than the baseline rate. It was dramatically different from the baseline rate.

Which organ has been removed in the rat that has been hypophysectomized? Pituitary gland Thyroid gland Parathyroid glands

Pancreas

Refer to Activity 4: Determining the Effect of Propylthiouracil on Metabolic Rate. What effect did an injection of propylthiouracil have on the metabolic rate of the normal rat? The metabolic rate increased. The metabolic rate decreased. The metabolic rate remained the same.

What was the effect of the propylthiouracil on the thyroidectomized rat? The propylthiouracil increased the metabolic rate. The propylthiouracil caused the rat to breathe faster. The propylthiouracil decreased the metabolic rate. There was no effect.

Refer to Activity 5: Hormone Replacement Therapy. Which of the following had the greatest effect on bone density? Estrogen and calcitonin both had equal effects. Saline Estrogen Calcitonin

Which of the following best describes the effect of estrogen injections into the rat?

The estrogen decreased the vertebral bone density of the rat. The estrogen inhibited osteoblast activity. The estrogen increased the vertebral bone density of the rat. The estrogen injections resulted in osteoporosis in the rat.

Which of the following best describes the effect of the calcitonin injections into the rat? The calcitonin had little or no effect on vertebral bone density in the rat. The calcitonin inhibited osteoblast activity. The calcitonin increased vertebral bone density in the rat. The calcitonin injections resulted in osteoporosis in the rat.

Refer to Activity 6: Obtaining a Glucose Standard Curve. What is the reason for generating a glucose standard curve? So that you have a method for converting optical density measurements into glucose concentration values. The curve glucose concentrations represent patient samples. So that the spectrophotometer is calibrated to measure glucose concentrations. To determine the amount of glucose in each of the standard tubes.

Refer to Activity 7. Which patient(s) had a fasting plasma glucose level that was borderline? Patients 3 and 5 Patient 1 Patients 2 and 4

Patient 3

How would you describe the diagnosis for Patient 3? Type 1 diabetes mellitus Gestational diabetes Steroid diabetes Impaired fasting glucose

What additional test would you recommend for Patients 2 and 4? Oral glucose tolerance test Pregnancy test TSH blood test

Which hormone is NOT correctly matched with its secreting organ. CRH; hypothalamus Cortisol; adrenal cortex ACTH; posterior lobe of the adrenal gland Insulin; beta cells of the pancreas

Which patient would be diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency (hypopituitarism)? Patient 5 Patient 2

Patient 3 Patient 4 Patient 1

Which patient would be diagnosed with Cushing's disease (secondary hypercortisolism)? Patient 2 Patient 4 Patient 1 Patient 5 Patient 3
