exam 1 review jeopardy Flashcards
the first test performed to assess thyroid function
TSH
a common way to see the cellular structure of a thyroid nodule is with
fine needle aspirate
- takes a small spicule out to determine cellular lay out/ structure
- ultrasound would look at shape of nodule
- nuclear looks at functionality/metabolism
if the TSH is decreased and T4/FT4 is increased it would indicate what
primary hyperthyroidism
positive thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and increased TSH could indicate what disease state
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (hypothyroidism)
this is the major carrier of thyroid hormones
thyroxine binding globulin (TBG)
- thyroxine binding albumin/prealbumin are secondary carriers
True or false:
calcium needs of the mother decrease during pregnancy
false
- needs increase due to babies demand on top of the mothers demand
in a pregnancy with down’s syndrome, the hCG levels are how much higher typically
2x consistently
false negatives can be seen in immunoassays methodologies due to what
hook effect
what hormone can be decreased during pregnancy due to structural similarities to hCG
TSH
- hCG preferentially binds thyroid to release increased amounts of T3/T4
pregnancy causes changes in respiration with a ____ in pO2 and ____ in pCO2
increase in pO2 and decrease in pCO2
- mother hyperventilates
what three glands secrete testosterone
testes, ovaries and adrenal
what hormone stimulates production of testosterone
LH
- FSH causes spermatogenesis
what hormone is secreted by the placenta to maintain the uterus
progesterone
- secreted by ovarian follicles during mensuration to promote egg attachment
- during pregnancy released by placenta to maintain uterus
what disorder is often associated with infertility and hirsutism
polycystic ovarian syndrome
- hyperestrinism
this is a genetic defect in females that has a partial or complete loss of one of the X chromosomes
Turner syndrome
