19
Q

Is genesis the breakdown of a compound or the production?

A

Production

20
Q

What are the receptors called that detect change in core body temperature?

A

Central receptors

21
Q

What does a fever do to the temperature set point of the hypothalamus?

A

Increases it, so you feel cold when it really is not

22
Q

What is metabolism?

A

All chemical reactions that occur in the human body

23
Q

What is absorptive state?

A

FED

- nutrients is entering circulation via GI tract

24
Q

What is post absorptive state?

A

FASTED

- nutrients is no longer available and we must rely on energy stores

25
Q

In which state will catabolic reactions mostly take place? Anabolic reactions? (FED/FASTED)

A

catabolic: FASTED
anabolic: FED

26
Q

Glycolysis is ____ - _____.

A

GLUCOSE - PYRUVATE

27
Q

Bile salts are produced in the ____ and stored in the ____.

A
  • liver

- gallbladder

28
Q

The development of Wolffian/Mullerian ducts is determined by the development of the _____.

A

Testes

29
Q

Without testes, Mullerian ducts _____ and Wolffian ducts ______.

A
  • develop

- regress

30
Q

What is the function of 5alpha-reductase and where is it found?

A
  • converts testosterone to DHT

- by small amounts in muscle

31
Q

If SRY gene is not functioning, what are the internal and external genitalia?

A

Female internal, female external genitalia (XY females)

32
Q

What happens when their is a mutation in the 5alpha-reductase?

A

Testosterone cannot be converted into DHT, therefore patient will have absent external genitalia

33
Q

A

In skeletal muscle and liver

- glucose - glycogen

34

39
Q

What is the function of progesterone?

A

Thickening of the uterine lining

40
Q

Why is AMH a part of egg production?
