cretiniCase study on Cretinism Cretinism is a congenital condition caused by a deficiency of thyroid hormone during prenatal development and characterized in childhood by dwarfed stature‚ mental retardation‚ dystrophy of the bones‚ and a low basal metabolism. A male child about 5 months in age was brought into the child’s family doctors office with the complaint of obstipation (a severe form of constipation). Mother experience a normal pregnancy and child was birth weight was 6 ½ lbs. Mother was

guarantees fast weight loss and high energy. This plan was designed for those struggling to get rid of tummy rolls and bulges. Unlike other diets‚ it’s not restrictive or complicated. Dieters are encouraged to eat tasty foods that curb cravings and boost metabolism. This eating plan uses the power of good fats to fight belly fat. Most meal plans are based on foods rich in monounsaturated fatty acids‚ such as avocado‚ salmon‚ and walnuts. Dieters have access to mouthwatering recipes like pumpkin maple cheesecake

Photosynthesis-the process by which an organism uses the energy from the sun to produce its own food c. Autotrophs- organisms that are able to produce their own food d. Heterotrophs- organisms that cannot make their own food and must obtain it from other organisms e. respiration -- the process by which food is converted

LAB ONE: Exercise 4 – Endocrine System Activity 1: Metabolism and Thyroid Hormone Part 1: 1. The normal rat had the fastest basal metabolic rate. 2. The metabolic rates differed between the normal rat and the surgically altered rats because the surgically altered rats didn’t have a thyroid or pituitary gland and therefore‚ the normal rat had a faster basal metabolic rate. The results turned out to be the way I predicted them to be. 3. T3 and T4 would be missing in the animal’s blood

FACTORS AFFECTING NUTRITION Factors affecting nutrition during fever are as follows: *Increase in temperature during fever increases the rate of metabolism in the body. * Energy is stored as glycogen in the body. Amount of glycogen is gradually depleted in fever. *Loss of tissues in fever leads to increased demand of proteins. * Acute deficiency of water & minerals is caused in fever due to

Mitochondria are the cell’s power producers. They convert energy into forms that are usable by the cell. Located in the cytoplasm‚ they are the sites of cellular respiration which ultimately generates fuel for the cell’s activities. Mitochondria are also involved in other cell processes such as cell division and growth‚ as well as cell death. They convert oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell’s metabolic activities

are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalase is an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. It is used for removing Hydrogen Peroxide from the cells. Hydrogen Peroxide is the poisonous by-product of metabolism. Catalase speeds up the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen as shown in the equations below. It is able to speed up the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide because the shape of its active site matches the shape of the

The configuration of cells are composed of a variety of chemical molecules. Cell metabolism involved the construction and obliteration of numerous diverse sorts of molecules.
