Janet is 22, and college student that recently moved out onto her own. She works part time and pays all her own bills. She has been vegan for about 8 months, and likes to go jogging 2-3 times per week. Because of limited finances, she often eats ramen, apples, carrots, whatever bread or pasta is on sale. She avoids going out to eat, and mostly packs her own lunch. She doesn’t usually eat breakfast, and often forgets to drink water during the day, and wonders if this is why she feels fatigued most days. She likes to have friends over to her new place, they often bring drinks, but she never drinks more than 1-2, and she doesn’t think it’s affecting her sleep.

  • What might be causing her fatigue? Think of 3 possibilities.
  • Did you consider anemia as a possible problem? Consider the possible causes and risk factors for three major types of anemia, could she potentially have one of these? How would anemia be diagnosed?
  • What suggestions could you give her in terms of diet changes to correct nutritional deficiencies she may have?

summary explaining how chemical signals from the endocrine system drive development of the reproductive system in both sexes. Your summary should include a comparison of this process among males and females. Your summary should be well organized, and should make sense to somebody who doesn’t have the guiding questions in front of them.

In your summary you should address the following questions: What hormones are involved in this process? What cells do these hormones interact with? What effect do the identified hormones have? What additional actions might these hormones have within the body (apart from the reproductive system)?
