Questions 1. What is abnormal about Nick's blood work? Sodium levels Nick's Potassium was were the normal range Over abnormally low, triiodothyronine was substantially high, and his thyrovine levels. His Thyroid drastically low. stimulation Hormone was ily Problems" by Millas, Musey, Duwan, & Stephens 2. In healthy individuals, cells in the hypothalamus secrete Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH), which stimulates cells in the anterior pituitary to secrete Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). TSH then stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete T3 and T4, which inhibit TSH secretion, producing a negative feedback system. The data show that, in Nick's case, the level of TSH in the blood is very low. However, despite the lack of stimulation by TSH, the thyroid is secreting abnormally high amounts of T3 and T4 into the blood. Overall T3 an T4 increase the number and activity of the Na/K-ATPase pumps in the cell membranes. Predict the impact that increased activity of the Na/K-ATPase pumps would have on Na+ and K+ concentration gradients. Page 7
