Explain how the Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular and Nervous Systems all work together to perform an everyday action (like driving, reading, or talking on the phone…you pick an action), then give an example of what would happen if just one system failed, what would occur specifically to the other systems? List 2-3 things. Make sure you are specific with references to each system and how they connect to one another. (12 points) (example….muscles are triggered to move by nerves which move the bones)

why are the symptoms of adrenal and pituitary Cushing's the same, even though the cause of it are different?

Based on the symptoms of Cushing's, explain whether or not its actions are anabolic or

catabolic.?

The dexamethasone suppression test is used to determine if Cushing's is pituitary based.

Explain why cortisol should remain elevated in those with secondary pathology
