Examine the production and action of hormones produced by the thyroid, pancreas, and adrenal glands. a. Thyroid:  Regulated by TSH  Low thyroid hormone level  release of thyroid-releasing factor release of TSH  release of more T3 and T4  T3 and T4:  Increase metabolism  Affect RR and oxygen utilization  Regulates body heat production  Conditions may cause heart failure  Possible to have been in thyroid failure x3 months before symptoms occur d/t stora...

How does Skeletal muscle aid in glucoregulation - - 40% of body mass - responsible for peripheral disposal of glucose in response to oral glucose/meals - glucose transport into muscle via myocytes = highly regulated process stimulated by insulin or contractions - Glucose molecules transported can be stored as glycogen or oxidized to make ATP Insulin Resistance - Normal or elevated insulin levels don't elicit the expected biological response in the organism or tissue What are the core com...
