The thyroid is not one of the hormones that TSH produces.
Glands and hormones are not parts of the endocrine system.
The thyroid is a gland, and it secretes the hormone TSH.
TSH secretes glands, so it would not secrete the thyroid.9.Which best describes the role of the nephrons?

Answer 1

1.)Peptic Ulcer is a common disease involving the sores on the esophagus, stomach, and/or small intestine
2.)A person who smokes is more likely to develop bladder cancer.
3.)Hormone injections are often given during surgery to treat endocrine disorders.
Pharmacological treatment treats depression while immunosuppressant treatment is for autoimmune disorders such as lupus and, psoriasis.

4.)The best comparison for Margaret to help her understand better the function of hormones is -- A hormone is like an e-mail with instructions from someone’s boss. It controls and regulates the activity in a company (just like hormone is to the body)
5.)Excess urine production can be triggered by a diet rich in protein. The more protein you eat, the more urine you produce.

6. If the kidneys will not function properly, fluid levels could not be maintained. Your body will be filled up with extra water and waste products which may result in swelling of your r hands and feet.
7.)The food that would be helpful in increasing fiber and regularly clear the digestive tract is the mint for it contains the highest level of fiber per 100 g. Oranges contain 3.1 g, broccoli, 2.6, ginger 2 while mint 8 g.
8.)Susanna gave a presentation on the endocrine system. His teacher marked her down by one point because she said that the gland called TSH produces and secretes hormones such as the thyroid. Answer: The thyroid is not one of the hormones that TSH produces.

9. Which best describes the role of the nephrons? Your kidneys contain millions of tiny filtering nephrons that help clean your blood. They remove excess water and, wastes and afterward, -- Answer: Nephrons restore the substances and water the body needs.

10.)Javier’s doctor recommends that he reduce his sodium and calcium intake because of the kidney stones— the urinary system disorder Javier most likely to suffer from.

Answer 2

1.) C - peptic ulcer. Peptic ulcers are sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, lower esophagus, or small intestine. GERD is a digestive disorder; Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums; Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach.

2.) D - bladder cancer. Smokers are 4 to 7 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than nonsmokers. Alcohol and smoking do not directly cause kidney stones so I guess kidney stones is out of the choices.

3.) C - pharmacological treatment Pharmacotherapy is a general term for using medication to treat disease and reduce or cure illness.

4.) A - A hormone is like an e-mail with instructions from someone’s boss. Hormones are chemicals that coordinate several functions in the body. Hormones are chemical substances that act like messenger molecules in the body.

5.) B - protein. A diet rich in proteins such as eggs, cheese, and whole-wheat products produces urine with an alkaline pH that may result in increased urea production.

6.) B - Fluid levels could not be maintained.

7.) A - oranges. Oranges and broccoli both have high fiber and helps ease constipation. So I'm not really sure which is which.

8.) C - The thyroid is a gland and secretes the hormone. The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system and lies in front of one's neck and below the Adam's apple.

9.) D- Nephrons restore the substances and water the body needs. Nephrons main functions include regulating the concentration of sodium salts and water by filtering the kidney’s blood, excreting any excess in the urine and reabsorbing the necessary amounts. Nephron return essential substances such as glucose, amino acids, water, and salt to thecapillaries that surround the nephron.

10.) B - kidney stones
