Q

Applying What You Know!

  1. India was pregnant and was 2 weeks past her due date. Her doctor suggested that she enter the hospital and he would induce labor.

What local hormone might he give India to encourage labor?

A
  1. Prostaglandin F (PGF)

27
Q

Applying What You Know!

  1. Susie suffered a severe sprain while playing volleyball one day. She noticed her leg was swollen, red, warm to the touch, and very painful. X-rays indicated that there was no fracture, but, nonetheless, she was extremely uncomfortable. After reviewing the x-rays and lab reports, the doctor sent her home with instructions and suggested that she simply take aspirin for pain.

Why did he make this recommendation for pain?

A
  1. In the presence of an injury, prostaglandins may be synthesized and released into surrounding tissue fluid. They may serve as an inflammatory agent and may cause swelling, redness, and pain. Aspirin is a COX inhibitor that reduces the effect of prostaglandins in the body.
