Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The hypothalamus synthesizes the releasing hormones and inhibitory hormones which control secretion or inhibition of hormones by the anterior pituitary. The hypothalamus secretes six hormones namely thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), prolactin-inhibiting hormone (PIH), corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), and somatostatin. These hormones regulate the synthesis of pituitary hormones (FSH, LH, TSH, ACTH, prolactin, and GH). The pituitary hormones control other endocrine glands.

Answer to Problem 1TYR

Correct answer:

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) secreted by the hypothalamus would not raise the thyroxine concentration in the blood. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus promotes the release of thyroxine from the thyroid gland. Therefore, option b is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reasons for the correct statement:

The thyroid follicular cells secrete thyroid hormones (TH) such as triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The thyroid gland releases TH into the bloodstream. The secretion of thyroxine is not influenced by the CRH.

Option (b) is given as “thyroxine”.

CRH does not raise the thyroxine concentration in the blood.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “ACTH.

The hypothalamus releases the CRH, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “cortisol”.

CRH stimulates ACTH secretion by the anterior pituitary. ACTH promotes the adrenal cortex to release of cortisol (glucocorticoids). Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “corticosterone”.

CRH stimulates ACTH secretion by the anterior pituitary. ACTH promotes the adrenal cortex to release the corticosterone (glucocorticoids). Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (e) is given as “glucose”.

The hypothalamus secretes the CRH that stimulates the release of ACTH by the anterior pituitary. ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete cortisol and corticosterone (glucocorticoids). Cortisol and corticosterone stimulate the catabolism of fat and protein and promote gluconeogenesis. Thereby, they increase glucose concentration into the blood. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c), (d), and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

CRH raises the concentration of ACTH, cortisol, corticosterone, and glucose in the blood, but not thyroxine.

. Consider a base substitution mutation that occurred in a DNA sequence that resulted in a change in the encoded protein from the amino acid glutamic acid to aspartic acid. Normally the glutamic acid amino acid is located on the outside of the soluble protein but not near an active site. O-H¨ A. What type of mutation occurred? O-H B. What 2 types of chemical bonds are found in the R-groups of each amino acid? The R groups are shaded. CH2 CH2 CH2 H2N-C-COOH H2N-C-COOH 1 H Glutamic acid H Aspartic acid C. What 2 types of bonds could each R-group of each of these amino acids form with other molecules? D. Consider the chemical properties of the two amino acids and the location of the amino acid in the protein. Explain what effect this mutation will have on this protein's function and why.
engineered constructs that consist of hollow fibers are acting as synthetic capillaries, around which cells have been loaded. The cellular space around a single fiber can be modeled as if it were a Krogh tissue cylinder. Each fiber has an outside “capillary” radius of 100 µm and the “tissue” radius can be taken as 200 µm. The following values apply to the device:R0 = 20 µM/secaO2 = 1.35 µM/mmHgDO2,T = 1.67 x 10-5 cm2/secPO2,m = 4 x 10-3 cm/secInstead of blood inside the fibers, the oxygen transport and tissue consumption are being investigated by usingan aqueous solution saturated with pure oxygen. As a result, there is no mass transfer resistance in the synthetic“capillary”, only that due to the membrane itself. Rather than accounting for pO2 variations along the length ofthe fiber, use an average value in the “capillary” of 130 mmHg.Is the tissue fully oxygenated?
