Discuss the endocrine regulation of one sex hormone: from the tropic hormone to the final sex hormone

Discuss one of the formed elements of blood (RBC, WBC, or PLT); the different parts of blood; or one the following proteins of blood: albumin, complement

explain how the sequence of eruption of the permanent dentition plays a role in the establishment of a normal occlusion

using five examples of self correcting malocclusions present during the development of the occlusion, describe the mechanisms of how each of these takes place

1. The presence of which hormone in a woman's blood is indicative of pregnancy (and is tested for in a pregnancy test?) What is the function of this hormone?

2. During menstruation, a large number of leukocytes are lost along with the endometrial tissues and bloody fluid. Several hypothesis have been proposed as to the purpose of this phenomenon. Propose a hypothesis of your own.

3. Explain how the drug sildenafil (Viagra, or Cialis) acts to facilitate erection for males affected by ED (erectile dysfunction).

4. Explain the likely consequences if a genetic male embryo (genotype XY) failed to develop testes

Messages are transmitted from one neuron to another via the synapse process. Define neurotransmitter, the four main categories, and their role in cell communication. Discuss one of the following synapse types: excitatory cholinergic, inhibitory GABA-ergic, or excitatory adrenergic.

In a study entitled Sleep Disorders in Children with Incidental Pineal Cyst on MRI: A Pilot Study by Del Rosso, et al. involving children aged 6–12 years, who were referred for evaluation of headaches, tics, or syncope, and had an incidental pineal cyst on an otherwise normal brain MRI, it was found out that school-age children with pineal cysts have significantly increased levels of sleepiness and difficulty with sleep initiation and maintenance than those with normal MRI.

6. Describe the gross anatomy of the pineal gland.

7. Enumerate the different types of cell of the pineal gland.

8. In the study, propose a logical reason why children who have incidental finding of pineal cyst on brain MRI had significantly increased levels of sleepiness and difficulty with sleep initiation than those with normal MRI.

9. How does pineal gland play a role in jet lag syndrome?

10. Enumerate the tumors that may arise from the pineal gland.

Compare and contrast interhemispheric and intrahemispheric white matter tracts

Case Study num33

Mrs. F has a history of mild heart problems, but she has been admitted to the medical-surgical floor for management of her liver failure. She is a white-haired woman in her sixties with a puffy face, overweight, and presents with yellowish skin and sclera, mild generalized edema (swelling), spider nevi (broken capillaries), high blood pressure, increased respiratory rate, and a heart rate of 59 bpm (normal is 60-100 bpm). When you ask whether she has noticed any changes lately, Mrs. F complains about dizziness and lightheadedness. She also mentions weight gain and that her slacks are too tight. She says “They told me this disease would interfere with my digesting lipid, so I thought I'd lose weight!”

1. How is the liver-related to lipid digestion?

2. Can you see any evidence that the liver is failing to perform this role in Mrs. F?

3. Mrs. F’s blood work has come back and shows that she has low plasma osmolarity and decreased levels of plasma proteins. The doctor says “this explains her edema!” How are plasma proteins related to edema?

4. Mrs. F has spider nevi, broken skin capillaries. Normally, broken skin capillaries do not cause visible blemishes, but hers are bleeding more than usual. Could this be due to her liver problems?
