Although Graves’ disease can be diagnosed from the results of one or two tests‚ your doctor may use several methods to double-check the findings and rule out other disorders. An analysis of your blood will show if the levels of two hormones- tetraiodothyrinine (free T-4) and triiodothyronine (free T-3)‚ which are produced or regulated by the thyroid- are higher than normal. If they are‚ and if levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in

chemical messengers. The endocrine system uses chemical messengers called hormones that are transported by the circulatory system (blood). They act on target cells that may be anywhere in the body. The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because hormones must travel through the circulatory system to reach their target. Target cells have receptors that are specific to the signaling molecules. The binding of hormones to the receptors on or within the target cell produces a response by the

and Thyroid Hormone Part 1 1 Which rat had the fastest basal metabolic rate (BMR)? The normal rat had the faster basal metabolic rate‚ because it was not missing its pituitary gland or its thyroid gland. 2 Why did the metabolic rates differ between the normal rat and the surgically altered rats? How well did the results compare with your prediction? The normal rat has the highest BMR because it has the glands required to stimulate and regulate the release of thyroid hormones. 3 If an animal

hypophysectomized rat’s baseline metabolic rate because it lacked thyroid-stimulating hormones. The following questions refer to Activity 2: Determining the Effect of Thyroxine on Metabolic Rate. 4. What effect did administering thyroxine have on each of the rats? It caused the metabolic rate to increase in all three rats. 5. Explain why thyroxine had these effects. It is a thyroid-stimulating hormone that causes more metabolism to occur. The following questions refer to Activity 3:
